  • There’s an old adage for cars that I think applies to home servers.

    Fast, Cheap, Reliable. Pick two

    In my experience, SBCs take a whole lot more tinkering than I like to do. I bought a cheap matx motherboard and a second hand ryzen 2400g which has served me well. Inside a second hand htpc chassis with an ssd for the os and a couple hdds for storage. It even has a 5.25" bay I can install a drive for ripping. I’d rubbing OpenMediaVault with Docker for Sonarr/Radarr/Overseerr/Nextcloud etc.

    It’s probably not the cheapest to run, but it was cheap to buy and it’s very reliable because it’s based on x86 so the support will probably outlast me.
