I built and ran the Oxide control plane at home and launched a Linux instance using Oxide.

00:00 Introduction
01:26 Building the Oxide Control Plane
02:23 Explaining the Build Process
04:18 Control Plane Development Configuration
09:24 Checking the Control Plane Status
10:50 Connecting to the Control Plane Using TLS
12:17 Configuring the Control Plane to Create an Instance
14:25 Uploading an SSH Key
15:27 Launching an Instance
17:10 Logging in to the Instance
18:01 Bye!

Here's the hardware I'm running this on. Note, this used to be my personal workstation which is why it's using consumer hardware. If I were building a purpose built Oxide development environment I'd likely switch to the EPYC or Threadripper line of CPU with a server board and ECC RAM. However, the memory economy was poor when I decided to transition this build to Oxide development.
