With all this migration i’ve been inspired to start self hosting some services.

I am looking for a mini pc to ideally run linux and host a media server with radarr and sonarr, pihole and some other stuff as i start getting more into self hosting.

Any recommendations / experiences that you can give? Or some general guidelines on what i should look for or things to avoid.

Thank you!!

    That’s what I did as well. Got one with a sixth gen i7 for $100 on eBay a few years ago. It’s been chugging along nicely.

      Same here. I have everything running on an ex-lease HP EliteDesk. Small footprint, and quite upgradable. Think I paid about £150 for it and it’s been running quite happily for a couple of years. Runs everything I can throw at it.

      I don’t know why people buy RPIs anymore, unless the tiny form-factor is a must have.
