My extra cool #minisforum Elite #MiniPC UM890 Pro arrived last weekend, and now it’s time to wipe Windows 11 (what a horrible excuse for an OS, it’s plastered in ads and continually seeking to violate my privacy), and setup a proper #homelab host OS and #container situation. I see people using #Debian (old packages), Ubuntu (resource heavy but familiar), #ArchLinux (neck-beardy), and #alpinelinux (lightweight) for the host #OS. Some people use Docker for running the containers, and I see others who are into Podman (can’t use docker-compose). Finally, I’ve recently run into proxmox, which is a widely-used hypervisor software that can run multiple VMs and back them up easily. I am thinking #proxmox running #Ubuntu running #Docker containers, for my main hosting #VM. That’s probably going to be the simplest to setup, document, secure, monitor, backup, and support, and I have plenty of RAM for this kind of setup. I am just wondering if using an eGPU will work out well if I were to use this machine for any ML processing 🤔
