Home Lab - Equipment and Software: Part 1
Thanks for coming back! If you missed the first post in my Home Lab series you can find it here.
In this post I will begin drilling into the equipment and software that makes up my Home Lab and my reasoning for these choices.
I’m going to skip the original Raspberry Pi, there are enough blogs covering the use cases for them and begin at the first significant device; my MacBook Pro (late 2013). I wanted something mobile to start with so I could take it to work, use it on commutes to other offices etc. The MacBook came with an Intel i7 2.3Ghz Quad core chip, 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD. This wasn’t going to be able to run everything, but its enough to run what I need when I’m away from home.
