Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You can also go on eBay and look for older mini PCs. I got an HP Elite desk Mini G5 for like $70. Didn't come with storage (usually the case), but an NVME/2.5 SATA drive is cheap.
It has an Intel 9500T and 16GB DDR4 RAM. The N series chips are more efficient (I have one of those N100 mini PCs, too), but the full chips offer more power (if you need it). Of course both of them will be significantly lower in power usage to an old desktop/server, by far.
Whatever you end up using, you can install Proxmox and call it a day. From there, install whatever you want, running side by side.
