what hardware is ideal for a beginner looking to self-host on Yunohost?

it's just me that's going to be using whatever it is, i plan to host a Nextcloud, probably a Matrix server using Synapse, a website, and email. i have an Ethernet cable ready to go, but i'm using someone else's internet at the moment (with their knowledge and approval).

i've been looking at Pine64 SBCs, but i'm open to anything as long as it's not a Raspberry Pi

  • I don't recommend hosting your own email server, as it's very labor-intensive to keep your emails out of people's spam folders.

    May I ask, why not an rPi? Is it because of the unreasonable prices?

      i'm not going to use this email server for real-name business, and i'll likely only be emailing people who contact me first. that said...good point

      ideological differences, i guess. i used to trust them right up until they hired that surveillance professional and shut down everyone who told them that that was a bad idea

  • Anything goes. Laptops, servers, workstations.. I run my media homeland on a refurbished Lenovo thin pc.
