Kubernetes homelab server with Ubuntu Server 24.04 (octavo)

Need. More. Server. Need. More. POWER!!!

Just a bit more, maybe quite a bit more, to run services that are more CPU-intensive than those already running in the current Single-node Kubernetes cluster on an Intel NUC: lexicon.

Low-effort homelab server with Ubuntu Server on Intel NUC

Need. More. Server. Need. More. POWER!!!

But only a little bit, maybe just enough to run a Minecraft server, which refuses to start on my Raspberry Pi 4 because it has only a meagre 2 GB of RAM.

I had known about Intel NUC tiny PCs for a while, and how handy they can be to have a dedicated physical PC for experimentation. There was a very real possibility that I would have to set one up as a light gaming PC in the near future, so I thought cutting my teeth on a simpler server setup would be a good way to get acquainted with this hardware platform and its Linux support.
