I built a small, efficient, but powerful mini cluster using Intel NUCs and it’s awesome!

I have a homelab and administrate and use multiple k8s clusters at work. But I still don’t get why you would need that in your homelab. Is there anything in a homelab that needs the scalability features of a cluster without the possibility to dynamicly order/buy nodes and cancel them accordingly?
NUCs have been end of lifed.
May I ask where I can find such a case? Are they just VESA compatible?
The question becomes: what do you do with the kubernetes cluster?
Wish I had ur knowledge 😢
How much do they cost base? And can u price added items? (List them?). I need 5 of them. But limited on income. Where did you buy it all?
Most humble appreciation for your help!
Thing is I can build a much faster machine for the same price
Hey Tim, If you have the vPro nuc models, you can use a meshcentral/commander server to control them without the pikvm. Ctrl+P during startup to get to the settings iirc.
Nice!
Been doing my homeland with three 6th gen NUCs for a while. Works great!
I'm happy that I finally listen to someone normal like @ZachsTechTurf
to follow you and your channel is
fu**ing amazing place to learn new stuff.
Love it! 😊❤
Doesn't the smaller form factor cause the CPUs to throttle a lot? I've got a mini PC with an i9 in it and I feel like I wasted my money because the CPU is throttling due to heat almost constantly. I'm not even gaming on it. I use it to push movies and music to different rooms in the apartment, and it also functions as a mail server. I think I would have been better served to save the money on the i9, and got something with an i5 instead.
How do you feel about the lack of ECC memory on devices like these? I know the Asrock NUC BOX 1360p and the Morefine s500+ is ecc enabled but for anything outside of that when do you personally use ecc and not? In your experience is it ok to use nonecc to spin up VMs, Jellyfin, any non-storage type services etc as long as you have a main file server/NAS that is ecc enabled?
AMAZING COMPUTING!
How are you checking the outlet wattages?
Where did u get that nuc rack? Ill ask for one for Christmas (Nuc-Racker)
You know the rule: no ECC => it goes in the trash.
Can you maybe try with Mac Mini's? Apple likes to talk about how good they are for servers
Why would you need 64ram for a nuc? And that's so cool to have them in a rac, I wish I got a rackmount with a bunch of stuff lol
I wonder if those get hot. I don't see any fans or anything.
No one needs a server cluster in their house, unless they are supporting a small business or running their own game (for instance), this is not that energy efficient given the use of mobile device chips.
Is mini PC reliable for Programing/ Coding or intensive home works?
