Got an M2 mini and at first had it running with MacOS and k3s (mini kubernetes). What annoyed me a bit was that if you restart you need to login to get kubernetes/docker starting up again. Also you cannot start docker desktop from cli, but need GUI access via apple remote desktop. You could remove the login but then your setup is completely unsecured against local access. After waiting a bit asahi linux supported the M2 mini and I gave it a try. It’s a fedora linux, which I’m not super familiar with, but installing it was quite smooth and installing k3s was also easy and I’m only really using the server via ssh tunnel port forwarding and kubectl which is fine for me. It even uses less watt in this config what I remember after measuring. Restarting also starts k3s without login as with any linux. So quite happy with this config.
Just had the same setup and that project was randomly breaking as some dependencies were not quite stable upstream. If you do this, please pin the versions like so:
sudo apt-get install apache2=2.2.20-1ubuntu1
or you’ll have fun debugging in the future ;) But I think something likenix
ordevbox
would be better overall.
