Building a Home-Lab
Building up my home-lab has been a great learning experience. Starting with a bare metal install of Arch Linux one really learns the linux fundamentals and the ins and outs of manipulating raw device resources.
I’ll be posting more detailed review of the interesting technical wins and struggles I’ve encountered along the way.
Currently I’m in the process of building out multiple linux server from older Apple laptops that have gone dormant due to apple end of life’ing the OS support for that hardware set. It is a shame as the basic hardware is still running strong.
Linux to the rescue! Adding a Linux Distro such as Ubunto-Desktop brings new life into the old hardware, Install Arch Linux from the ground up and you’ll have a strong understanding of how Linux is put together. Add a desktop such as Sway or Hyprland and you’ve got a pretty fast and stable system to program with and run DevOPs.
