My use case is a homelab kubernetes cluster, so I want multiple nodes for redundancy, but I don’t want to use too much electricity or generate too much heat. But for the sake of other readers, let’s keep it general:

What’s a nice little computer for a homelab, with its own power supply, ethernet, and room for 2 internal disks?

    Irregular answer since everyone already covered the good ones: old phones with sdcard slots.

      Be careful with old phone batteries if you’re going to leave it somewhere plugged in for months

      Is there a sort of guide for this? I have a cracked old phone i’ve been looking for a use for.

        You can go as easy as using termux, or as hard as using postmarketos. Plenty of guides online.
