The tutorial covers installation via a simple command, configuration of providers (including GLM coding plan), channel setup, and skill customization. Hardware recommendations range from a $5/month VPS to a Mac Mini M4 ($599), with alternatives including repurposed laptops, used Optiplex machines ($60), or a Beelink Mini ($270) that can double as NAS storage. The Mac Mini is popular for its power efficiency (5-7W idle, 70W max) and hassle-free setup, though VPS options offer easier domain configuration and lower costs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
