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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Suitable yes, if you want to do it... maybe or maybe not. Here's a few pointers:
If you're about to spend money I would grab an HP Mini unit with a "T" CPU, those will downclock really hard and you can get a i5-10500T (on ebay) for around 250€... and everything will work fine out of the box. An i7-8500T model also sells for 150€ or something like that.
Have a look at those CPU benchmarks (last one is probably yours):
If you're looking for power efficiency the newer CPUs are always better. Those mini units will downclock and idle at around 9-12W depending on hardware configuration but Apple should be able to do better - at least assuming you've power management working.
