The Turing Pi 2 is quite an exciting project that might even be a game-changer when it comes to homelab. With it, you can set up Raspberry Pi Compute Modules as individual servers, and even cluster them! The Turing Pi 2 gives you access to many additional features that Compute Modules wouldn’t normally have access to, such as mPCIe, SATA, and more. This gives you access to build a data-center in a box, and Jay gives it a first-look on the channel in this video.

The Homelab Show Episode 40 – The Turing Pi 2
Happy New Year! In their first podcast of 2022, Jay and Tom talk about the Turing Pi 2. The Turing Pi 2 is a mini-ITX board that supports up to four Raspberry Pi Compute Modules and/or Nvidia Jetson modules, effectively giving you a “data center in a box”. Check out this episode for some thoughts on how this might be a game changer for homelab.

Building a Raspberry-Pi Storage Server with OpenMediaVault
This video is the first of several low-energy server ideas I’ll be showing off. This time around, we explore the setup of a storage server, but on a Raspberry Pi. This will greatly decrease power-usage. OpenMediaVault will be installed on the Raspberry Pi, and you’ll see the entire process in this video.
