A first homelab built from a small PC and backup screen
The first homelab setup is built around a small Lenovo PC. The machine uses an i3-7100 and has one internal 1TB . Another 1TB of space is added through an external drive.
A small switch connects the devices over a wired network. A monitor is kept nearby so the server can still be checked and controlled directly if SSH access fails.
Key points
- A small Lenovo PC acts as the server.
- Storage is split between one internal 1TB drive and one external 1TB drive.
- A small switch provides wired network connections.
- A monitor is available in case SSH stops working.
