Great content, Mischa! I just stumbled on your channel, and this is a great intro to homelabbing. I would like to point out that the Oracle Free Tier ARM instances have a max of 24GB RAM, just for accuracy sake. Thanks for the video!
If you are school/college student you can apply for GitHub students developer pack which can give you 100$ credit on azure for 1 year without any credit/debit card. You can renew until your GitHub students pass expire, which will expire when your school/college ends. BTW thanks for your information. I learnt a lot from your channel. Keep doing it.
I recently discovered your channel and I love your content! I am a software engineer and you noticed me to finally learn more about DevOps. Keep it coming!
Hi Mischa! Also, I am not a DevOps but have been studying cybersecurity for some time and a cheap laptop is the best way to test your abilities! Keep going!
For cybersecurity, you can do something very similar to this setup on old hardware, except using Kali Linux instead of Ubuntu. This gives you a homelab with all the pentesting and infosec tools you need.
I watched your Zettelkasten course on Udemy and I really loved it! Thank you for the great content! A quick question: if someone is not interested in journalling at all, could he follow your system without using the daily notes?
A few things. First, I want to truly commend your endeavors. It's a good thing people like you are out there. Secondly, I think you should turn to other DevOps, not just beginners. As an experienced DevOps engineer, I would wish to see other forms of content as well. Lastly, I understand why you promote Microsoft Azure and I think it's venerable, but besides (maybe) AKS, their merits pale in comparison to the other Cloud Providers. I've had a horrible experience with it, no matter how I interacted with the cloud (TF/TG, CLI, UI, native tools).
Hey Mischa! If I start with a Mac Mini, and sometime in the future, I want to add more nodes to it, will the other machines need to run macOS? Or can I use the other options you mentioned as additional worker nodes?
Running it on your own working computer if you run ubuntu desktop is not a option? I have always tested stuff directly on my ubuntu. Would be glad to know if there is any disavantages...
Of course it's an option :) One disadvantage is that you become less experimental because you don't want to break your main workstation. It's best to have a separate environment where you can break stuff to learn
I have a question. did the distro really matters? Can I use another distro like nixos or void instead ubuntu server or that distro its like a standard?
Honestly, love and respect, but what do you actually need this for? i would like to understand more of what devops means but having a laptop and installing ubuntu is not telling much of a story yet. looking forward to you comming videos
There’s something special about a device powered on all the time and consuming electricity and theres something beautiful about you finding out that you don’t have money left to pay for cluster of electricity bill. PS: I know I’m exaggerating but I still felt like writing it !

Great tips. Can’t wait to run an app I’m building from my think pad
Hi, mischa can you make a video on how you learn? I have been doing labs and note taking however I don't feel like I am learning.
Good idea!

Which Digital Pen are you using ??

@@mischavandenburg Makes sense Mischa. Thanks for your reply
Are you endorsing Microsoft Bing?
I have a question. did the distro really matters? Can I use another distro like nixos or void instead ubuntu server or that distro its like a standard?
why would the distro matter
Some distros are supported better than others. Ubuntu server LTS is one of the best
Doesn't matter. But Ubuntu server is most relevant if you are developing yourself towards a career in cloud engineering or operations
How do you expose your homelab to the Internet but on the same time secure your home as you have exposed your Ports
I address these types of questions in my community.
What software is he using for writing etc.
Excalidraw
Excalidraw runs in the browser for free
What is the name of software you used for drawing?
Honestly, love and respect, but what do you actually need this for? i would like to understand more of what devops means but having a laptop and installing ubuntu is not telling much of a story yet. looking forward to you comming videos
