My homelab for 2024
Following on from the previous article (available at this address), I recently adopted an approach that had long been neglected, namely setting up a real homelab with dedicated machines. After much hesitation, I seized the opportunity that presented itself, believing that it was time to move towards this approach. So here we are with version 8 for 2024, comprising the following equipment: Mac Mini M1 ; MacBook Air M1 ; 4x Chuwi Larkbox X (Intel N100, 12 Gb de RAM DDR5 + 1 NVMe 512 Gb par hôte) ; My “old” PC tower, with a dual boot (Ubuntu LTS 22.04 et Windows 11).
