## Start tossing my homelab
|
|
|
|
> Initial reason
|
|
|
|
I wanted to start tossing `homelab` because the cost of cloud servers is relatively expensive, as an individual user, in the absence of a business model, I wanted to save as much budget as possible, using open source github works to build services for their own use.
|
|
|
|
After learning about `frp`, an open source intranet penetration tool, I tried it and found that it can be very good against the interference of broadband operators and idle, the home of various laptops/hosts and other non-dedicated server hardware to use effectively.

## Host and configuration
|
|
|
|
> Purchased 3 mini-hosts for around $145
|
|
|
|
Home mac mini and desktop host, are productivity tools, can not be used as a server, and professional servers, and power and noise problems, so focus on the `mini pc`:
|
|
|
|
- cpu performance can be used on the line,
|
|
|
|
- Memory is best > 16gb
|
|
|
|
- Hard disk capacity is best 512gb
|
|
|
|
In China's e-commerce sites, there are many years of such mini pc, I bought a total of 3 units, the table is organized as follows:
|
|
|
|
| website | brand | image | price | amazon price | aliexpress price |

## Server deployment
|
|
|
|
For the linux server, I choose a web control panel: 'aapanel'[^1], which is the international version of the Chinese company 'pagoda panel'
|
|
|
|
At some point in the future, I will definitely replace it, after all, there may be privacy issues, or other indescribable monitoring

|
|
- dns pointed to `cloudfare`

|
|
- Apply ssl certificate: `Let's Encrypt`, to encrypt the site
|

It's fun to be able to access servers in other countries, and your own home server, via ssh at any time 🙃
