I think 8GB is fine. Tell me when you would like to give it a shot. I have no
idea what version of macOS is the minimum needed. You can set it up following

Here's the script I use to bootstrap the worker - note a few requirements in
homebrew in the comments:

Oh man, mac life is hard... just bricked one mini, trying to erase the hard drive and reinstall the OS :-/

Apparently something went wrong during the erase, and now everything including El Capitan panics upon booting the installer, probably due to a kernel bug in com.apple.driver.CoreStorage, which leads to the meltdown due to this particular evil type of disk corruption.

I wonder which options do I have other than taking the thing apart and zeroeing the hard drive with Linux - just odered a Thunderbolt cable - maybe I could get to the drive using Target Disk mode and zero it without getting it out of the machine...

Gonna try my luck with another mini tomorrow.
