I set out to make a homelab server using the M4 Mac Mini. The results are quite surprising I'm able to run a file server sort of a NAS system and I can run a bunch of services using docker containers. I can stream all the content using jellyfin/Plex and I can even run local AI models at this price point. The Mac mini is a great machine sort of a jack of all trades. 💵 Product Links Beelink Mate Mini - https://amzn.to/3ODPNf8 Centmate HDD Enclosure - https://amzn.to/48qqsvN 🌐 SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS 📸 Instagram: / aslamsean T I M E S T A M P S 0:00 Intro 0:24 The Plan 0:52 What is home lab? 2:31 Mac Mini vs Enterprise 4:03 Internal Storage Solutions 6:13 NAS Prep 7:15 NAS - But first what is a NAS? 8:03 NAS - Setup 9:13 NAS - Different RAID types. 10:27 NAS - Create User 11:29 NAS - Enable Sharing 13:04 - NAS - Testing 15:29 - Making sure Mac Mini is always on 15:52 - Setup Media Server Plex / Jellyfin 16:67 - Config Jellyfin 17:47 - Start Streaming 18:39 - Local AI 24:07 - Running Docker 31:13 - Other Docker Services 31:43 - Recap + Outro #apple #macmini #m4 Disclaimer: Some of the above links are affiliate links, and I may receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you) if you make a purchase.
