🤕 I could’ve rented a VPS or amp, used managed platform or kept everything on my Mac. Instead, I bought a mini PC. Not because I needed another server! Because I wanted a playground I could own, break, rebuild, and keep improving!…
I’d put Proxmox on your mini PC because it basically turns your tiny box into a full home lab. Every project or service gets its own VM or LXC, so if you break something while testing, it only takes down that one thing. You could run n8n, Immich, a test DB and a side project…
Proxmox great but my goal wasn’t to build full homelab. Isolated every single layer, I wanted a simple native Linux development environment similar to hosting and Herd as example. NGINX, PHP, databases, Redis, and tooling running directly on Ubuntu. No VM management/ extra layers or resource overhead for a single-user dev box! I traded isolation for simplicity intentionally. 🥹 sometimes less infrastructure the whole point
