Raspberry Pi

With the homelab hardware set up, it is time to start preparing the machines so they can work together. As I intend to use my homelab as a safe and easy to use “IT playground”, I have decided that the following elements would need to be setup: Static IP address on each machine. This facilitates troubleshooting as well as easing the communication between the machines. Remote control software and SSH. This facilitates troubleshooting my “remote” machines without having to hook a keyboard+mouse+monitor to them....

As a data engineer, it is quite obvious that I like tinkering with technology, specially with software related stuff. Because of this, some time ago I decided to setup my own simple homelab where I could experiment and run scripts around without worrying about setting up cloud services. As such, I have decided to share how I set up my homelab, so others can use it as an inspiration or just have a look at it....
