+<span>This is the second blog post about my f3s series for my self-hosting demands in my home lab. f3s? The "f" stands for FreeBSD, and the "3s" stands for k3s, the Kubernetes distribution I will use on FreeBSD-based physical machines.</span><br />

+<br />
+<span>This means that the FreeBSD boxes need to be covered, which will later be running k3s in Linux VMs via bhyve hypervisor.</span><br />
+<br />
+<span>I&#39;ve been considering whether to use Raspberry Pis or look for alternatives. It turns out that complete N100-based mini-computers aren&#39;t much more expensive than Raspberry Pi 5s, and they don&#39;t require assembly. Furthermore, I like that they are AMD64 and not ARM-based, which increases compatibility with some applications (e.g., I might want to virtualize Windows (via bhyve) on one of those, though that&#39;s out of scope for this blog series).</span><br />
+<br />
+<h3 style='display: inline' id='not-arm-but-intel-n100-'>Not ARM but Intel N100 </h3><br />
+<br />
+<span>I needed something compact, efficient, and capable enough to handle the demands of a small-scale Kubernetes cluster and preferably something I don&#39;t have to assemble a lot. After researching, I decided on the Beelink S12 Pro with Intel N100 CPUs.</span><br />
+<br />
+<a class='textlink' href='https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-mini-s12-pro-n100'>Beelink Min S12 Pro N100 official page</a><br />
+<br />
+<span>The Intel N100 CPUs are built on the "Alder Lake-N" architecture. These chips are designed to balance performance and energy efficiency well. With four cores, they&#39;re more than capable of running multiple containers, even with moderate workloads. Plus, they consume only 6W of power, keeping the electricity bill low and the setup quiet - perfect for 24/7 operation.</span><br />
+<br />

+<br />
+<span>The Beelink comes with the following specs:</span><br />
+<br />
+<ul>
+<li>12th Gen Intel N100 processor, with four cores and four threads, and a maximum frequency of up to 3.4 GHz.</li>
+<li>16 GB of DDR4 RAM, with a maximum (official) size of 16 GB (but people could install 32 GB on it).</li>
+<li>500 GB M.2 SSD, with the option to install a 2nd 2.5 SSD drive (which I want to use later in this blog series).</li>
+<li>GBit ethernet</li>
+<li>Four USB 3.2 Gen2 ports (maybe I want to mount something externally at some point)</li>
+<li>Dimensions and weight: 115*102*39mm, 280g</li>
+<li>Silent cooling system.</li>
+<li>HDMI output (needed only for the initial installation)</li>
+<li>Auto power on via WoL (may make use of it)</li>
+<li>Wi-Fi (not going to use it)</li>
+</ul><br />
+<span>I bought three (3) of them for the cluster I intend to build.</span><br />
+<br />
+<h3 style='display: inline' id='beelink-unboxing'>Beelink unboxing</h3><br />
+<br />
+<span>Unboxing was uneventful. Every Beelink PC came with: </span><br />
+<br />
+<ul>
+<li>An AC power adapter</li>
+<li>An HDMI cable</li>
+<li>A VESA mount with screws (not using it as of now)</li>
+<li>Some manuals</li>
+<li>The pre-assembled Beelink PC itself.</li>
+<li>A "Hello" post card (??)</li>
+</ul><br />
+<span>Overall, I love the small form factor.</span><br />
+<br />
+<h3 style='display: inline' id='network-switch'>Network switch</h3><br />
+<br />
+<span>I went with the TP-Link mini 5-port switch, as I had a spare one available. That switch will be plugged into my wall Ethernet port, which connects directly to my fiber internet router with 100 Mbit/s down and 50 Mbit/s upload speed.</span><br />

+<br />
+<span>Next, I plugged the Beelinks (one after another) into my monitor via HDMI (the resolution of the FreeBSD text console seems strangely stretched, as I am using the LG Dual Up monitor), connected Ethernet, an external USB keyboard, and the FreeBSD USB stick, and booted the devices up. With F7, I entered the boot menu and selected the USB stick for the FreeBSD installation.</span><br />
+<br />
+<span>The installation was uneventful. I selected:</span><br />
+<br />
+<ul>
+<li>Guided ZFS on root (pool <span class='inlinecode'>zroot</span>)</li>
+<li>Unencrypted ZFS (I will encrypt separate datasets later; I want it to be able to boot without human interaction)</li>
+<li>Static IP configuration (to ensure that the boxes always have the same IPs, even after switching the router/DHCP server)</li>
+<li>I decided to enable the SSH daemon, NTP server, and NTP time synchronization at boot, and I also enabled powerd for automatic CPU frequency scaling.</li>
+<li>In addition to <span class='inlinecode'>root,</span> I added a personal user, <span class='inlinecode'>paul,</span> whom I placed in the <span class='inlinecode'>wheel</span> group.</li>
+</ul><br />
+<span>After doing all that three times (once for each Beelink PC), I had three ready-to-use FreeBSD boxes! Their hostnames are <span class='inlinecode'>f0</span>, <span class='inlinecode'>f1</span> and <span class='inlinecode'>f2</span>!</span><br />
