it’s just me that’s going to be using whatever it is, i plan to host a Nextcloud, probably a Matrix server using Synapse, a website, and email. i have an Ethernet cable ready to go, but i’m using someone else’s internet at the moment (with their knowledge and approval).
i’ve been looking at Pine64 SBCs, but i’m open to anything as long as it’s not a Raspberry Pi
I bought a 2nd hand laptop from ebay for less than $60. 8gb ram, 250gb SDD to which I added a 2TB external drive I had. It was cheap as the screen was broken and the battery wouldn’t hold a charge, both of which things are irrelevant for yunohost. Runs VPN client, Ampache, NextCloud, WordPress and GOGS with zero problems.
