Let's build a home lab server from scratch with Ubuntu Linux, OpenZFS and KVM

I show you how to install OpenZFS and KVM on Ubuntu Linux and what you need to consider if you build your home lab server upon real server hardware like the Dell Poweredge T410, I’ve used. How to set up a ZFS storage pool with hard drives connected to a Raid Controller. Manage KVM on Linux with virt-manager from Linux or Windows computers with WSL2 and VcXsrv.
