    FWIW, it doesn’t need much. I’ve been running since June 2023 on a VM with 12 gigs of ram, like three cores, and a 1tb ssd (previously I was hosting the DB on my unraid server, but the performance was absolutely horrendous). When i started it i had less RAM, i think as time as gone on its started requiring a bit more (maybe now because of the db migration)

      Thanks for the input. The thing is for now I only have one NAS with a low power CPU from skylake era, 8Go of ddr3 and a Linux setup I want to always redo. I will look out for mini PC or stuff like this for my server

        Makes sense, yeah it definitely takes more system resources vs storage for a personal server. I host for myself and some friends, so it’s really just thumbnails that take up space.

        For reference, I’m hosting on an r220 w/ a proxmox VM allocated as above. I think you could probably get away with less, but not too sure. Your idea with the mini PC would probably work, or you could get a cheap dell Optiplex on eBay and see if it runs well
