<p>One of the simplest ways to build a homelab is out of a <a href="https://ca.refurb.io/products/hp-800-g1-usff-intel-core-i5-4570s-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd-wifi-windows-10-pro?variant=33049503825943">refurbished computer</a>.
Having multiple machines/nodes provides the advantage of increased redundancy, but starting out with a single node is enough to reap many of the benefits of having a homelab.</p>

<p>Virtualizing your hardware is an organized way of dividing up your machine&rsquo;s resources. This can be done with something such as a <em>Virtual Machine</em> or something lighter like a container using <em>LXC</em> or <em>runC</em>.
Containers have much less overhead in terms of boot time and storage allocation. This <a href=https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16047306/how-is-docker-different-from-a-virtual-machine>Stack Overflow answer</a> sums it up nicely.</p>

<p>A hypervisor such as <a href=https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve/get-started>Proxmox</a> can be installed in minutes on a new machine. It provides a web interface a straight-forward way to spin up new VMs and containers. You&rsquo;ll want to ensure that VT-d and VT-X are enabled in the BIOS if you decide to install a hypervisor to manage your virtualization.</p>
