Hi friends. I’m a newbie in self-hosting, though I’ve been managing (virtual) linux servers at work for a couple of years. I’m completely ignorant on the hardware choices out there, hopefully you can point me to the right direction.

Here are my requisites:

  • Low power consumption, I plan to have it connected 24/7 and I’m kinda concerned on how much it will impact the electricity bill
  • Ethernet port, preferably gigabit but whatever
  • Graphical performance is not important as I don’t plan to connect it to any display. As long as I can ssh into it, I’m good.

Services I plan on installing, for starters:

  • casaOS
  • pi-hole, or equivalent
  • Home Assistant
  • Kitchen Owl (nice to have)
  • Paperless-ngx (nice to have)

I live in europe and my budget is around 80 euros or so. Thanks in advance!

    A used Android pixel phone. You can root it and install Pideploy and run PiHole through it.

    I have an old Pixel 3a doing exactly this. The other services I don’t quite know if they have an Android implementation.

    Doesn’t suit your every use case, but I figured I’d share.

      termux-root has a docker package. That still doesn’t cover everything but a lot of popular services have docker images
