*Xe Iaso* shares their journey in building a *”compute as a faucet”* home lab where infrastructure becomes invisible and tasks can be executed without manual intervention. The discussion covers everything from operating system selection to storage architecture and secure access patterns.
You will learn:
– How to evaluate operating systems for your home lab — from *Rocky Linux* to *Talos Linux*, and why minimal, immutable operating systems are gaining traction.
– How to implement a three-tier storage strategy combining *Longhorn* (replicated storage), *NFS* (bulk storage), and *S3* (cloud storage) to handle different workload requirements.
– How to secure your home lab with *certificate-based authentication*, *WireGuard VPN*, and proper *DNS configuration* while protecting your home IP address.
