it’s just me that’s going to be using whatever it is, i plan to host a Nextcloud, probably a Matrix server using Synapse, a website, and email. i have an Ethernet cable ready to go, but i’m using someone else’s internet at the moment (with their knowledge and approval).
i’ve been looking at Pine64 SBCs, but i’m open to anything as long as it’s not a Raspberry Pi
Old laptop probably best, ARM is getting better though. I’d be tempted by https://forum.banana-pi.org/t/banana-pi-bpi-cm5-computer-module-with-amlogic-a311d2-4g-lpddr4-ram-and-16g-emmc-onboard/15578/3 but expect some software hassle
a debian 11 virtualbox VM in any computer with tunnelmole (ts/js) or tunnel.pyjam.as (wg)
I just set up my own server with Yunohost on a HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Mini PC 8GB 256GB SSD Intel Core i5-6500T Win10, Black. Costs about $95 refurbed online. I’ve got 14 apps running on it with no issues.
