I need some advice on what hardware to buy for my home setup. I see a lot of posts talking about software, but not so much hardware. I would love to have a box I can buy and start setting up stuff.

A rack seems a bit expensive, my initial budget I feel is reasonable starting out is about $500-$800.

I’ve been looking at mini PCs, what are your thoughts on ASUS PN52? Just throwing that into the post to give a pin point of what I’m looking for.

I’m planning on hosting

  • Bitwarden
  • Nextcloud
  • Plex
  • Standard notes
  • Lemmy instance
  • Web server
  • Openresty

And need to be able to upgrade storage etc. for future proofing.

Thankful for all insights, tips, and suggestions!

    That also works with Jellyfin by the way. You can always switch over to Plex later, if you decide you need it and are willing to spend the money.
