Basic homelab

TODO Your homelab journey doesn't have to start with a full size server rack and a complex, high availability system. As a matter of fact, you can start self hosting with just a single computer.

While this computer could be a single mini PC, I highly recommend to use a NAS as they can be built for little money, and provide a robust storage solution as well as a simple built in way to deploy applications.
