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.

I have an Intel NUC, particularly the NUC8i5BEH I got off eBay. Unofficially supports up to 64GB of memory and has NVMe and SATA for storage. Small footprint and sips power. I currently use mine to run ESXi with a few VMs on it, sits in a cupboard and had no issues with it. Probably a bit more expensive than a small form factor PCs from the likes of Dell or Lenovo for others have suggested though.
Do you know how much they are? Some family was showing me some. However, they were around 1.7K USD
I was watching one recently on eBay with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD that went for 200 GBP. I'd go secondhand, not brand new. Anything newer than an 8th gen intel CPU, ideally quad core should be enough to get you started.
They've been making them for quite a few years so you can pick up older/slower ones for very cheap just depending on how fast you need it to go - I recently picked up a NUC10 i7 for my plex server
