Hi!

I have an old gaming pc (i5 9400F) with 16gb of ram that has been acting as my home server with proxmox. It’s quite large and quite loud and very overpowered for what I’m using it for (home assistant, Minecraft server, some lxc containers) and a mini pc (amd 5800h with 16gb ram).

I want to sell my gaming pc, place the HDD into a NAS (and samba share my plex library), and potentially grab a low powered N100 minipc to pick up the lxc containers and home assistant that my gaming pc is running.

New to self hosting so wondering if this is a good setup or if there are any glaring issues you see with this. What is your setup?

    N100 ain’t it.

    Maybe i3-N305… or a mini PC with AMD H-series chip (or similar) configured TDP-down if you are concerned about power usage or fan noise.
