  • Don’t have a good guide, but in addition on the thing you plan to selfhost yourself you need to decide where it’s supposed to run. In a rented VM from a hoster? There are several ones where you can get a decent VM for a few bucks each month.

    Nowadays, Docker (or containers in general) are very popular, as an alternative to directly installing services on the vm. They make many things easier, but it’s another thing to learn about when you’re just starting - fortunately, there’s plenty of guides etc!






  • I think the only thing where you can mix CPU architectures without much problems and doing something meaningful with would be a Kubernetes Cluster, e.g. install K3S across the machines.

    As others mentioned, the 3rd gen CPUs are probably using quite a lot of power. I’d get something to measure how much the whole machines draw from the wall and decide if you’re fine with that (measure while there’s actually something going over the network interface and some r/w operations).

    The CPUs should be powerful enough to run most classic selfhosted apps.
