Ah, the lab. I've actually had a lot of time to plan and research, so its nice to finally be trying to action here a bit. I even dug through my pi-related boneyard to do an inventory with the hopes of using at least some of what I already had.
I've decided to build a humble lab, likely with 4GB Pi4s in a tight config. I have the switch and power already if I can find them, and I might need an SD card or three. I'd like to netboot them or run off USB sticks, but we'll see.
My first project will be something simple, like getting a basic CI/CD system with a web server going. I'd like to fiddle with secuity and failures and autoscaling, but one thing at a time.
