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.
