Hi, I'm looking to buy a small computer to upgrade my setup for selfhosted servers. Right now I'm running containers directly on my qnap nas but I would like to migrate most of them on a dedicated server. I'm looking for something that could run docker with stuff like plex, arrr apps, Torrenring, wireguard, vault garden and more. I would like for that server to be very power efficient, something running with as low as 65w TDP or less and also I would like it to be a small computer, something like beelink or Lenovo tiny form factor for example . I looked some small pc from Lenovo, Dell, hp and as I understood it is a bit messy with the power usage depending of the cpu. So I was wondering what would me options be here? Is there other people here who also wanted to run power efficient servers if yes what did you found?

LXC is a lot more like a VM, where you just get an OS and you have to set up things inside. Whereas docker is pre-made images that are already set up and ready to go.

Ok so will it use the Kernel of its host or it will have its own ?

Containers use the kernel of the host, you can use a VM if you don't want that.
