That said, I am not convinced that I should continue to run all of my home services collocated on an underpowered NAS. Thinking it may be better to get an affordable server instead. 🤔

@jonathan I don't like doing anything on my NAS other than file serving. I picked up a small form-factor desktop used on EBay and run my services there. After all, if an appliance can run this stuff on an SOC, it should easy peasy run on an older office-grade system.

@oh_that_courtney Yeah that’s sorta my thinking as well. My. Synology has been basically bulletproof for storage, but I have too many containers running at this point for it to make much sense to host services. I am a bit worried about the reliability of mounting the NAS over the network.

@kellysims for my purposes, a Linux server is my preference. I've already found some affordable options. Hopefully I can tinker on it over the holidays.

@mako @kellysims good timing! Happy to share experiences. Proxmox looks nice. Coolify too. So many choices! (Took the plunge and ordered a MINISFORUM NAB6 Lite with 32GB of RAM)

@jonathan @kellysims lots of choices! Looks like a nice box too. Self hosting things like linkding, forgejo, etc have been a real boost this year too.
