How I Set Up an Unraid Devbox

Fri, 31 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve been using a Mac mini for personal projects lately, but I prefer developing on Linux. It’s closer to production, and I happen to know Linux internals better than MacOS internals. With some quality time on eBay, I recently built an Unraid homelab/media serverwith 24 cores, 32g of memory, and 20tb usable storage (i.e. not including parity disks). It seemed a perfect opportunity to set up a new devbox.

I knew I wanted some sort of remotely accessible containerized environment. I’ve started using VSCode for Rust development, so I would need that to work too. Finally, static IPs are tedious, so mDNS support would be ideal.
