It's kinda wild - I picked up a Dell PowerEdge R610 (with 6x 750gb HDDs) for $45 , two Dell PowerEdge R720 (with 8x 900gb HDDs each) for $35 (total), and a Dell PowerVault TL2000 with 24 tapes for $25. I basically got 3x enterprise servers with enterprise backup for $105 total at government auction. You got a good haul too - but if you opt for blade servers you can often find them for far cheaper (granted, noise is going to be an issue, as is likely power draw down the line if you keep them on high loads 24/7). Great video and awesome explanation!! Subbed.
Thank you for your support! I'd love to know what servers you snag from eBay... I might need to go shopping there for some more hardware LOL If you follow the docs that I've written, definitely leave some feedback and share it with folks. I plan to do a lot more to the website in the future.
Bro I've been looking 4 something similar to this for like a year. All other home labs focus on network engineering or smart home stuff. Precuate it bro
Glad I was able to help out bro! Def let me know what you think about the docs too in GitHub. Literally wrote the whole thing up because it was too much to record. I agree with you too. Folks are so reliant on the cloud these days too, and they sometimes forget... the cloud is expensive as hell lol
@@damienjburks 100% so many folks have projects or just tell folks to toss stuff on AWS or some us some "free" cloud solution without letting them know with one bug in their code or setup they could owe hundreds in a month
Thank you for the presentation. What or how are you using the Raspberry Pi that you showed initially? What type of software are you using to overlay the video of you talking in the lower left-hand corner while scrolling, is that in real time or did you record and then edit?
Thank you for watching! So the Pi4 that I have, it's basically a PiDNS server and a Jenkins node. I record and edit, and I use Descript and DaVinci resolve.
Nice video, damien. I normally run proxmox for my homelab. It gives me the space to have multiple VMs. Aside from it being self hosted, whats the benefit of gitea?
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it. So my primary reason for choosing gitea is because it’s super lightweight. It doesn’t need much to run. That’s the key reason why I choose it over other solutions. Especially when running several things on one machine.
@@damienjburks Good stuff, I had been looking for something along these lines for a while. A ton of DevSecOps content is just ads for cloud stuff or overcomplicated self-hosting. Yours sounds doable and reasonable on all fronts
what is DevSecOps? at first glance i would assume it stands for - Developer Security Operations? i feel these acronyms are becoming meaningless nowadays, they seem way to broad it feels like just about everything falls under them. Moreover, i watched your video(watched 60% skimmed 40) and read your description, and i still couldn't find how you would define it(i believe this is an issue). if DevSecOps does indeed have to do with security i'm confused. this video had almost nothing to do with security but you continued to use the word DevSecOps. i clicked on this video in hopes to learn about security operations when operating a server at home, but left with nothing. i like you, your style and, quality of content. You're also unbelievably well spoken, congrats, i genuinely strive to speak as clearly as you do. but the title(and your use of the word) feels unfair and misleading. "DevSecOps homelab" but your primary focus was about *your* homelab and not the security associated with it. i think you branding your self so heavily with the term "DevSecOps" might be a mistake.
It is about securing DevOps, meaning containerized applications, deployment pipelines and workflows etc. You usually perform all this stuff on the cloud but a homelab is good for training.
Hey! Thank you so much for watching and feedback - greatly appreciated 😄 So, the intent behind this video is to show how I built my home lab for building DevSecOps pipelines using Jenkins. The tooling that I have installed will be leveraged (in which I’ll show in future videos) for securing deploying my apps into my environment as well as in the cloud. The link to the write up shows you how I configured it to help me build. Could it be more secure? Absolutely. This is just the way I have done it. Now, the term DevSecOps is really about securing the deployment of applications into an environment. This video aligns with that methodology from a technical level, because I am showing you and have documented how to install them and build a DevSecOps pipeline, which you can check out that info here: www.devsecblueprint.com/projects/devsecops-home-lab/create-and-configure-pipeline/create-repository-pipeline#step-7-create-jenkinsfile-for-cicd-pipeline
This video further let me know that I am on the right path in life. Thank you for your transparency
No problem! Thank you for watching! Good luck and have fun building!
Thanks. Great video, Damien.! Today, I have added having a DevSecOps lab to my homelab journey as well.! :)
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

sheeesssh that's a great deal you got on hardware! Thanks for watching and for your support! I'm definitely going to look into blade servers for sure!
@@damienjburks most certainly! Keep up the good content! 😁
Really well done brother
Thank you so much for the support and for watching! ☺️
Brilliant video man about to hit Facebook market place like it owes me money while I binge watch the rest of your videos
Thank you for watching! Great idea! Def let me know what you find on FB Marketplace... I might need to go searching myself.
@@damienjburks I will indeed my friend thank you for bringing dev secops to the masses
Good video man, great quality. Good luck with your channel!!
Thank you so much for the support! Truly appreciate it! ☺️
Hey Damien. This is awesome. I'm going to buy a couple servers I found on ebay and build this out. Thanks for making this video.
Thank you for your support! I'd love to know what servers you snag from eBay... I might need to go shopping there for some more hardware LOL
If you follow the docs that I've written, definitely leave some feedback and share it with folks. I plan to do a lot more to the website in the future.

Hi, nice video. I was wondering, how did you create your documentation? Looks neat.
Thank you for watching! I use Docusaurus to render the markdown files that are checked into GitHub.
