  @puck I don't know shit about macos, but if it was me, I would ditch macOS for sure (i least I'd try).

  @puck if your not using your mac for any other purpose you may stick with it to see how it compete.

  Even with a lot of services running, most of the time you don't need very high end cpu, especially if you can enable hw acceleration (like for jellyfin). In that scenario a 200$ power efficient small linux server might be enough (like N15 trigkey). What will cost you money is memory.

  Don't forget you need to buy backups disks (or use the ones you already have).

  @catloaf @monkeyman512 well i might disagree on this.
  I started selfhost a couple of services for private use with a pi2 some time ago, and after gaining experience, I finally selfhost almost everything I need : cloud, photos, backups, website, media streaming etc. Including a mail server, on a low voltage unit.
  Okay the mail server was a bit trickier to setup but works fine now for 3 years. I'm not get spammed or mark as spam, even without static IP.
