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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Pretty much what the title says, I was wondering, since I want to invest on self hosting applications and my raspberry pi 3 b+ can barely function. I don't have enormous expectations, just docker containers, nextcloud, pihosted, jellyfin... Any further suggestions (regarding the hardware) will be much appreciated.

You may get more bang for your buck by getting a comparable mini PC rather than a NUC. Some ThinkCentre Tiny machines are listed on eBay for less than $100 USD. HP and other manufacturers sell their own versions as well.

ThinkCentre Tiny machine

Or dell optiplex for a bargain.

Got myself a Dell 8gen 8GB 256GB SSD for 40€... Got a 6 core (8500?, It came with a "Pentium Gold" bi core) for 60€ and a 4TB HD for 70€... For example. I think it will handle a lot before needing an upgrade. It's a smallish tower though, but sff versions exist too.

It's as crazy how cheap those PCs are and how expensive Raspberries has become :-/

I agree, but what about power usage?

Yeah sure, it's not the same.
