I managed to install xcp-ng and alpine on a Single Board Computer : seco b68 powered by Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N3350 @ 1.10GHz and 2GB of RAM !!!

Then 400MB can be allocated for a VM (or several)
Let me track the power consumption and imagine some minimalist-homelab use-cases ...

@rzr but why.... what example use case would this be useful in?

Ah nice! I did a similar test few years ago on a similar CPU, but with twice or 4 times the RAM

At least (stress) testing purposes...
It could make sense for edge computing eventually... or DiY "battery operated solar powered portable environments"

There's many use cases, and VMs are great for isolation but also capabilities to monitor with a central XOA, restore/backup and much more.
