Homelabs

Quilibrium Node Running

Anyone running a Mac Mini/Studio as a server at home?

Been thinking of coping one for /quil-mining and future projects but running full macOS in the background feels kinda wasteful compared to a lean Debian or Ubuntu build.

I’m having trouble deciding if that sweet Apple Silicon is worth it in the long run.

i have a very old one running as a server. headless macOS on apple silicon should not be even an issue at all

homebridge, some telegram bots, yt-dlp, other various cron jobs. this was before i had everything in unraid and didn’t want to run a VM — at this point i might as well get rid of it. 

i set it up once through VNC and now just ssh to it from time to time when needed.

I’m sure it runs fine, but how do you maintain/provision it? What does it do/run?

I’d love to have proxmox run on all my machines, and just have them communicate directly there, but maybe that’s an arbitrary limitation I’m imposing on myself.
