Planning on building a homelab out of my old laptops.

Anyone got experience with this?

What do you want to do with this homelab?

Yeah if they’re too old it will suck lol

For my case I use rpi

I am too building a homelab cluster. i have good experience with k3s (lightweight k8s and even a moron like me can deploy it).

@nebula wow, that name is triggering... 😱

I used a cheap "sales point" computer, I handle everything with caprover https://caprover.com/

Basically, it is a container that helps you install other containers and has the routing done for you too in nginx.

Then I used duckdns to point a subdomain of my own to the ip of the box.
I tis pretty neat have a bunch of web services there.

@mundo03
I always think of these

when I think of cloud computing
i soooo wanted to build one out of recycled 486s back in the day !

no idea what i would have used it for lol

@MadMadMadMrMim I have been thinking about paralell computing, but also have no idea what to do with it.

I saw some dudes built a super computer with a few PS3 when it came out, that sounds interesting.

@mundo03 yeah back in the day when people junked their original xboxes you could supposedly pick them up cheap and someone did the same thing and dumped Linux on them

@Sumafu what will I use it for?
Honestly I do not know, Just seemed like something interesting to do with my old laptop, I haven't been using it for anything either way
