With the YouTube influencers making mini labs and mini racks big right now, I'm surprised there's nothing happening here.

Just found this post on local, but shit, I'll bite. I've been thinking about hosting a Plex server or something on a little lenovo MPC I've got kicking around. Could you send or post some links to some videos about self hosting on small form factor machines? I'm sure I could google it, but let's keep these cool little communities alive.

Just reformat the mini PC using any linux OS you want and then install Tipi

Thanks for this tip, I’m absolutely going to try this out, I’ve been looking for an easier way to manage my services

If you have Windows already on the mini PC, then you don't need to reformat, and just use WSL2 and run Tipi within that.
