Just got a Tiny Mini PC! Looking for Homelab Setup Ideas ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ
Hey everyone ๐Ÿ˜ƒ A few days ago I picked up a tiny PC (ThinkCenter M720Q) and Iโ€™m pretty impressed with its sleek design! Up until recently, I didnโ€™t even know devices like this existed! ๐Ÿ˜„ Here's the spec breakdown: - Processor: Intel i3-9100T - RAM: 16GB - Storage: 256GB SSD Iโ€™m wondering what I can get away with running on this for some homelab testing. I was thinking of setting up 1 controller node and maybe a couple of worker nodes, but I believe K3s might only support one node on this hardware for my setup. Still undecided on the OS since it doesnโ€™t have one installed yet. Would love to hear your thoughts! Anyone running something similar? What OS are you using, and how are you leveraging your homelab setups? Looking forward to hearing your ideas!

@Rahul M It is cool machine. Don't overthink about it if you find similar tiny PC from Lenovo, HP or Dell just buy it. Its not very expensive and its more powerful than Raspberry pi.

Hi everyone, I just joined today. I learned about kubecraft and Mischa through a podcast that I found on YouTube. I followed up and tried to book a session to join the Kubecraft Accelerator Program. The session was cancelled and I found about this community. Watched the intro course on how to land a DevOps job. Thank you @Mischa van den Burg for sharing your journey. Instantly I knew this is for me. There is a long way to go, alot to learn. But it will be fun ๐Ÿ™‚. Keep up the good work.

I used most of them (maybe daily) but recently I have discovered the importance of using sed and awk
