I did take a quick look under the hood so to speak.

Beelink GK Mini v Intel 6th Gen NUC Beelink GK Mini v Intel 6th Gen NUC Whilst they’re both small form factor, the beelink is smaller and significantly lighter. I’ve taken a couple of shots of it alongside my 6th Generation Intel Nuc. It’s made from plastic, but it doesn’t feel cheap. When you first pick up the unit, it’s hard to describe how light it feels. We also have a small bag of replacement/drive screws. In the box alongside the unit and power adaptor, we have a fixing plate for VESA mounting, user manual and a pair of HDMI cables. Ports: 4* USB 3.0, 1* 1000 LAN, 2* HDMI (fullsize), audio jack (headphone+mic).Storage: 128/256/512GB m.2 and room for an SSD in the base of the unit.The specs can be found below, and the product page is here. It has two full size hdmi ports (Intel HD Graphics 600 GPU) and both will support h.265 and VP9 video playback up to 4K resolutions. My unit had 8GBs of Ram and a 256GB m.2 drive. It came well wrapped in the post and the packaging felt high end, almost apple-esque if you will. Beelink GK Mini Initial Packaging Impressions were goodīeelink sent me this unit directly and it seems to fit the bill. By the end of this post, you’ll have a small efficient little server running, proxmox, home-assistant, docker and portainer. In this post, I’ll go over the Beelink GK Mini that they’ve sent me and then we’ll go through setting it up as a home server. I also wanted to do a complete home server set up tutorial, so this coincided perfectly. Beelink were kind enough to send me one of their units for me to play with. I’m currently abroad so I was looking for a light weight machine that I could move around quite easily, but would also be sufficiently powerful enough to run the home and distribute media. So recently I’ve been looking to find a small low powered machine that I could use as a small media server.
