I dusted off my RPI4 and started tinkering with self-hosting things and it’s sparked a fire. Suddenly I have 7 docker containers running and I need more RAM, more space and I want something reliable with room to grow. I like small form factors but it doesn’t need to be RPI small. Any recs for your favorite hardware under $500?
Very similar setup here, was running Unraid on a server with all my storage but electricity prices meant I moved my array to a Synology NAS 8bay and got a Dell 3050 Micro with a 12th gen i3 to run Unraid and keep all the Docker containers while only needing to change the mount paths
All that to say the Dell Micro is fantastic
