Turning Spare Mini PCs into an Incus Cluster
2025年8月9日 , TR514

Mini PCs naturally multiply.

To stay out of the doghouse for your ever-growing collection, let's turn these assorted mini PCs into an Incus Cluster!

Incus is a Linux-based hypervisor for containers and VMs -- think of it like a lighter, funnier cousin of ESXi or Proxmox VE.

By clustering spare mini PCs with Incus on your favorite Linux distribution, you can host anything from a robust home lab to redundant home automation, streaming servers, your own personal or family cloud, and much more. No more guilt trips -- now you have perfectly valid reasons to collect even more tiny computers. This session will walk you through the key steps to create your own Incus Cluster, from basic setup to advanced clustering techniques.

(Note: Electricity bills -- and excuses to your family -- are your responsibility.)
