My Plan

Introduction

For a while, I have seen tech YouTubers talking about having homelabs, which is just running servers at home and it gave me an idea to have my own one as well.

What is the plan?

Basically, I will be putting things that require a lot of computer resources inside a virtual machine in a server. Then on a low-powered device, I could easily remote into it. The server will also host other services as well such as a media server, storing photos, and other things.

Why should you do it?

Independence

These days, way more people rely on big tech to manage their lifes, and I wanted to move away from that idea. So around 2018/19, I decided to slowly move away from it, starting with emails.

Minimal Computer Setup

So, you won't really need a massive tower on your desk for doing intensive tasks, for example, I could bring a low-powered device and just plug a single cable that powers my entire setup (connects to keyboard, mouse, monitor, and ports). After that, I could remote into the virtual machine and do high intensive stuff on it like gaming or video editing.
