Comment on Is this a good first homeserver?
negativenull@piefed.world 1 day ago I run a lot of containers in my homelab, which consists of an OrangePi (similar to an RaspberryPi 5). It works surprisingly well, and was only (at the time) $250 for the board, case, and emmc drive.
Not for me. I have a very quick ryzen setup with tons of ram and nvme etc. I never want back to a orange pi. But sure. I don't like waiting, as a developer myself I just want to have quick loading pages and services.
Most of these devices have very limited IO disks speeds as well as slow processors. And also limited ram.
