I'm no expert, hardly skilled really, so perhaps I'll instigate correction here...
I run everything I can in LXCs on my old crappy hardware and it works like a charm, so with the talk of low power, that might be helpful. I have an optiplex 780 (so yes, fans and the like) running 6 drives, a NAS, nextcloud, nginx proxy manager, alpine running docker running portainer and kitchen owl, and trilium notes.
