LIGHTWEIGHT LINUX DISTRO FOR HOME LABS SOFTWARE

Your home lab server will be running virtualization software like WMware Workstation, Virtual Box, or Hyper-V, so you’ll need an operating system that supports your choice of VM software and cloud platform software. Preferably a system that has at least 16-32GB of RAM, SSD storage, and an i5 3.0 GHz core CPU (Intel Core i7 is better if you have one). The best way to get started is by getting the powerful hardware that suits your needs.įor a good home server lab that can work as a personal cloud and handle your testing and training needs, you’ll need a powerful machine that can run multiple virtual machines. We’ll cover parts like CPU, motherboard, storage options, and operating systems so you can make the best decision for your needs. This VMinstall guide will discuss the parts needed to build a home lab VM server for hosting multiple virtual machines. Not a hard job but if I can avoid it I don't complain either.How to POWER your virtual machine test environment with a personal cloud… A trackmania server for instance is much easier to set up on Ubuntu as it has many dependencies that are already set up in Ubuntu and need to be installed yourself in Debian. I personally run Debian, ubuntu and centos in my lab and prod, depending on the application I run in it. Very nice system but I don't think it's what op is looking for as he mentioned wanting so set up proxmox. It's much more a storage system which has vm and docker capabilities baked in. One it is based on Slackware, not Debian and two it is more of a host and not made to be run in a vm. Unraid on the other hand is something completely different. I wouldn't think as ubuntu is the entry Friendly Debian (I mean it is in my opinion a bit easier) but more of its own thing with the added benefit of using deb packages. It's nice to manage and has some comfort features baked in that Debian has you do on your own. It was a hard sell for me but 100% worth it to learn LXC and start containerizing everything I run.

Each container is like a separate machine running just that once application so you can stop and start just one thing at a time, install new services or remove old one without ever interfering with the host machine or the other containers.

LIGHTWEIGHT LINUX DISTRO FOR HOME LABS UPGRADE

When you upgrade one service it might break another and when you stop or remove a service it might totally hose the rest of your machine.Ĭontainers (LXC/Docker) let you put each application in its own container where it can have its own file system and all its own dependencies but doesn't run a full blown virtual machine (virtual mobo, virtual network card, virtual ram, virtual hdd). Some stuff only wants to run right at the root of your webserver or some stuff wants a particular version of a dependency. If you run all your services right on the host OS you might start to run into conflicts. r/HomeNetworking - Simpler networking advice. r/pfsense - for all things pfsense ('nix firewall) Might be able to find things useful for a lab. r/hardwareswap - Used hardware, swap hardware.
