This guide will show you how to set up CoreDNS for your home lab environment, managed by Ansible

Let’s get started!

What you need

• A working knowledge of containers.

• A working knowledge of Ansible.

What do you do with a 2014 Mac mini that has just been replaced with a 2018 Mac mini? You install Linux on it, of course.

Here’s a list of steps that I needed to go through to install Ubuntu 18.10 on the 2014 Mac mini. This applies to model Macmini7,1:

• Insert Ubuntu 18.10 install USB drive into Mac mini USB port
• Boot off of the USB drive
• Done

I didn’t have to install any drivers or change any settings - everything “just worked”.
