Sprout Lab is a Homelab and Digital Garden built by @gitasaur. I only use Open Source Software, so what I've built can be used by anyone for free, with the config located publically here to allow others to view and learn.
A homelab is a private space where individuals can experiment with and learn about various technologies. It's like a personal mini data center where you can build and manage networks, servers, and other IT infrastructure from the comfort of your home. Homelabs are great for testing new software, setting up virtual environments, and honing your IT skills without the limitations of a production environment.
A Digital Garden is a curated collection of notes, ideas, and projects that grow and evolve over time. Unlike a traditional blog, a Digital Garden is more informal and dynamic, allowing for continuous updates and connections between concepts. It's a space where I can document my learning journey, share insights, and develop ideas in a more organic way.
