A small security homelab offers ideas for Mac mini servers
A modest security training homelab uses a Ryzen 3600X processor, a GTX 1660 Super , 32 gigabytes of memory, a 1 terabyte NVMe drive, and several reused SSDs. Its main purpose is cyber security practice, especially blue team work focused on defense and monitoring. The machine runs for Windows Server, Windows 10, Windows 11, Wazuh, , and osTicket.
