I dusted off my RPI4 and started tinkering with self-hosting things and it’s sparked a fire. Suddenly I have 7 docker containers running and I need more RAM, more space and I want something reliable with room to grow. I like small form factors but it doesn’t need to be RPI small. Any recs for your favorite hardware under $500?

    My specs:

    • NUC10i7FNK
    • Intel® Core™ i7-10710U Processor (12M Cache, up to 4.70 GHz)
    • 512GB NVME SSD, I think it’s Samsung 970 pro
    • 32GB of RAM, I think it’s DDR4-2666 (fastest supported)

    I can’t comment on your “Wondering if I should take the plunge” as it highly depends on use-case. At home I am not very into HA as it gets ridiculously expensive (and I am not making money out of my services, such as Jellyfin, Homeassistant, adblocking DNS and so on).

      Exact same setup as you except a larger NVME. Makes sense, no need to sink excessive cash into it. :)
