Homelab Servers 101

This is a overview of some of the things that happened when I implemented a new Homelab server on an Intel Atom SoC system. This may be of value when deploying a new system in your Homelab. Check this link for information on the X553 ixgbe driver issue shown in the video.

Awesome video as always!

Thanks. It's nice to be aware of traps that one can encounter. Mini PC are great, but lastly I decided to put in my homelab a ATX machine. For now I have HDDs connected with USB. With ATX I will connect them through SATA and I will have space for some future expansion.

What I have done is go the Mini-PC route, but then to iSCSI mount disks from a NAS on the network. I have a couple great iSCSI videos. The one compelling use case I can see for using an ATX machine might be having the PCIx slots for powerful GPU card for either transcoding or AI applications.
