As everyone have said, it depends on what you want to have in your server. I started with an old lenovo I bought in mercado livre for 200 BRL. It was a DDR2 PC with 4Gb ram. I bought an ssd and installed Debian. Used for years. After that I tried to build a DDR3 PC. Made it with 800 BRL and it’s decent to run my docker containers like an arr stack, nextcloud, VPN, reverse proxy and vaultwarden.
Wait, can I share a printer on my network that does not have a network card?!
Totally agree! I’m not a programmer and I have several services running in my home server. I’m just curious and have used Linux for a decade as a normal user. With just these 3 basic knowledge skills you’re good to go.
This was my media server and kodi player for like 3 years…still have my Pi 1 lying around. Now I have a shitty Chinese desktop I built this year with i5 3rd. Gen with 8gb ram
Hey just passing to say I saw your post and decided to update my Debian server …took me an hour to find that the rtl driver just stopped working and I had to revert to older kernel…never done it before haha…
I use navidrome + tempo and I’m happy with them…sometimes I feel like the shuffle function is not that great…I get some tracks way more often than others but then I just press next…
