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.
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.
Proxmox Backup Server is a custom Linux distro that you can run on your server to have it serve as a backup endpoint. It integrates quickly and easily with Proxmox Virtual Environment, making it a great solution to back up your virtual machines and containers. In addition to that, it can also be used to store non-VM backups too, so running Proxmox Virtual Environment is NOT a requirement. In this video, I’ll teach you everything you need in order to get started with Proxmox Backup Server.
You can download the Proxmox Backup Server ISO image from here. Also, feel free to check out the official documentation pages to learn even more.

Remote access into your homelab is very useful – you can fix and tune your servers from wherever you may be. But which technology should you use to facilitate remote access? There are many possible solutions. In this episode of The Homelab Show, Tom and Jay chat about OpenVPN and Wireguard, two of the most popular technologies for accessing your homelab while on the go.
In episode 35 of The Homelab Show, Jay and Tom discuss the essentials of OpenSSH. OpenSSH itself is the standard for remote management in Linux, and it’s the most convenient way of managing servers without having to stand in front of the rack. Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, so core security topics surrounding OpenSSH are covered as well.
What network hardware should you go with for your homelab? UniFi is one possible option, and in this episode, Tom and Jay discuss the pros and cons of this particular platform.
In the final episode of LearnLinuxTV’s Proxmox VE tutorial series, we explore the concept of high availability. This will ensure that our most important virtual machines are always running, even if one of the nodes in our cluster stops responding.
In episode 32 of The Homelab Show, Tom & Jay discuss Patch Management, including (but not limited to) unattended upgrades, live patching, and more!
In episode number 30 of The Homelab Show, Tom and I answer a handful of great questions that were recently sent in.

LearnLinuxTV’s Proxmox full course aims to get you up to speed with all the finer points of Proxmox Virtual Environment. In video #12, we take a look at the Command-Line interface. The basics of both the qm and pct commands are covered, so by the end of the video you’ll be able to manage your cluster with or without a user interface.
Setting up a Bastion Server can be a useful method of gaining access to your Homelab from external networks. In addition, it’s also a popular attack target for intruders. In this episode, Tom and Jay discuss what a Bastion Server is, and some recommended adjustments to help make it more secure.
