Hi, I am planning to setup a home servering can get a remote desktop on via the webinterface Guacamole. I havehadit ona huge Servet before but this Time I really need it to Bea fanless server. I need 32gb+ of ram and at least 1tb SSD. Enough CPU power to serve a linux desktop running in lxd via a quacamole in a docker image.

Any recommendationsfor good hardware that isnt crazy expensive?

    Yes i would say 1000-1200euro tops for the budget with option to add more ram later. Would you think i3 is enough? I am not too familiar with the newer generations

      Even a raspberry pi can run linux with an lxd desktop, and this i3 is a few times faster than a raspberry pi. But it depends on what you want to with it…

        Correction, Raspberry pi zero can run lxd, been there done that. So if that’s all OP wants a $10 computer should do it, he really needs to be more specific.

          Then you probably don’t need 32 GB RAM, unless you’ve measured actual in-use RAM and found that you need it. Halve it to 16 GB and you’ll probably find more options.
