Want to build your first homelab but have no clue where to start?
You don't need an expensive server or a crazy setup to get started! An old laptop, desktop, or mini PC can be more than enough.
I'd recommend starting with Linux, learning the basics of Docker, and experimenting with self-hosted apps like Jellyfin, Pi-hole, and Home Assistant. There's a lot you can do with just one computer!
This is just scratching the surface of homelabbing, but hopefully it gives y'all a better idea of where to start. I'll be putting together a full beginner's guide on YouTube soon!

Ngl, Docker don’t get enough credit. I started using it recently and it so damn cool.
