  • Hello! In this video I walk you through the process of starting your own homelab!
    A homelab is a place where you are free to explore the world of computers in any way you see fit. Whether you want to explore computer networking, try out a new operating system you've never before, or build a complex network of interconnected systems. The power is in your hands, after this tutorial you will have the foundation of your homelab setup for these new adventures.
    First we install Proxmox and the rest will be history.
    Stay tuned for more homelab content!

    I like that you have dust on your hardware. no sarcasm...I have dust on my hardware. makes you more relatable than those "fancy" channels

      Hahaha, I figured what better way to integrate myself within the Homelab community, i had to decide what I was going to do with all my hardware 😂

    Awesome. I need to get a stack of some minis and get rid of the old huge desktops in my lab too.

      Yes! I feel like space consumption is so undervalued in the world of Homelab. Have fun!

    Thanks for this. Im pretty new to this stuff and have a couple of those mini pc's laying around with the N100 inside of them, and someone suggested if I wanted to play around and learn some linux stuff and homelab,then to use proxmox. A lot of the stuff out there was a bit complicated to me but this is easy to follow. Going to follow along for the rest of this journey

    Great video! I also just started my 3 node cluster with HP ProDesk 600 G4 Mini 's 😀. If you don't plan to use your Wifi card (like i did) you can replace them with 2,5 Gbit adapters. With some 3D printed parts you can replace your second displayport connection with a 2,5 Gbit port.

      Wait that’s actually amazing, I’m not too familiar with 3D Printing however I’m curious 😮. Where is the best source to get these custom parts?
      Thanks for your comment 😊

      Homelabbing is such a fun hobby! I really love lower power machines too because its the same fun with a lot less power consumption! I am glad you are enjoying the videos! I am working on some more for the weeks to come!

    These are a great choice, I do a similar thing with the Dell Optiplex Micro's after the zombie apocalypse destroying the price of Raspberry Pi's I switched to these ex business machines, most will take a NVME and a 2.5" SSD and they have another M.2 port for a wifi card or even a Coral NPU, I'm running Proxmox and Truenas on mine, fantastic little machines, I have 5 stacked on the side like a blade server, bes of all these can be found for way under $100 USD fully ready to run.

    You may want to look at usb display adapter to record the screens instead of a camera just a thought as channel grows.

      @SelfHostedToast not used any for a number of years - have a look at usb capture cards or screen record in windows

    Subscribed. That explanation/flow was better than 90% of other videos about it, could've been a bit shorter though. Would love some home assistant or media (jellyfish...) videos too, if you are into those.

    In the bios: Power Loss - I would turn to on
    Then if you have a power cut it would power back up when get electricity.

    I use my hp dumb terminal as a windows server 2019 core! that way I taught myself powershell. I run my homelab thru that using hyper-v core.

    Hello
    I like your video, but I give you a friendly advice: Clean the components / PC before filming. Personally, it doesn't bother me, but you will have people who will criticize this thing. Good luck with your RUclips channel.

    • @SelfHostedToast
      @SelfHostedToast  4 месяца назад +1

      I appreciate the feedback, and I definitely agree, keeping components clean is optimal for performance! Thank you for watching 😎

    Just make sure you don't fall for the 'crabs in a bucket' mentality from your peers.
