My current home/lab setup is
- An Alpine router x86_64 running https://github.com/jchdel/select-fastest-gateway connected to two or three different uplinks
- a switch
- a R-Pi 4 (used as usual desktop) also in 64 bits
- a tower (16 cores x86_64, 128GB RAM) running Alpine, openVSwitch and qemu-kvm
- dual 43" 4K (DP to desktop, HDMI to R-Pi 4)
I plan to run a Xorg desktop headless in some KVM and remotely connect to it from the R-Pi as X station... And to drive other dev and build boxes as KVM.
What about https://github.com/e1z0/Framebuffer-browser on Alpine? I plan to give a try and maybe package it...
