• First Home Lab Video Premieres at 11:00 AM

    15 hours ago • 0 comments

    I have created the first YouTube video for my Home Lab project, and it is scheduled to premiere at 11:00 AM.

    This video is a brief introduction to the lab, including the Dell PowerEdge R740, Proxmox virtualization, Cisco networking hardware, pfSense, FreePBX, local AI, Minecraft servers, and some of the other systems I have built around it.

    This is also a test to see whether people are interested in shorter videos about the project. The Home Lab has grown considerably, and video gives me another way to document the hardware, upgrades, troubleshooting, failures, and future plans without trying to fit everything into a single written update.

    If people find this first video useful or interesting, I plan to create more Rhea Talks videos covering individual upgrades, experiments, repairs, and changes as the lab continues to develop.

    The YouTube premiere will be available at 11:00 AM. A link to my YouTube channel is available on my Hackaday.io profile.

    This is an ongoing project, and the video is only the beginning.
