I use their blinds and windows with a Velux KLF 200 gateway. They work fully localy with homeassistant. Can reccommend.

I don’t own a ryzen 5xxx but from my experience with a ryzen 3xxx in a laptop, its enough to run most games (at least that I play) at 1080p 60 at low to medium settings. So yea it’s pretty good.

From my experiance with minecraft servers ryzen is the way to go.

I would recommend getting a used ryzen 5 5600g or ryzen 7 5700g i found some for less than 80€ on ebay. For the mainboard i would either get a cpu + mainboard combo or get it new as i haven’t found any non broken used boards. Pretty much anything is fine, just look out for the number of pcie slots and the lane distribution between them and if it supports lane bifurcation (you need this if you want to add m.2 expantion boards) if you want to add a hba or network card later on and that the board has 4 ram slots. Get at least 32gb of ram, 64gb is better and get them as 2 sticks, so you can upgrade later, ddr4 is cheap now. Storage wise I would reccommend 2 sata ssds as boot drives and 2 nvmes (if the mainboard supports it) for data.

So as an example (only 1 boot drive) with the prices ive found:

U: used (ebay); N: new

This mainboard isn’t itx, but you should find one that is for a similar price!

Software wise you can try out debian, truenas or something else, but try to use zfs. Im personally using debian on zfs root running minecraft servers in docker containers with docker-compose but running lodestone (a web ui for mc servers) would also be an option. Running nextcloud in a container is also pretty easy

I’ve experimented with ntfy, it works pretty well and is selfhostable. I don’t know if it natively support mqtt though.

I use both IONOS for domains and webhosting and a VPS from Host Unlimited, they also offer webhosting, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’m happy with both. Host unlimited apparently has a tier with unlimited mailboxes.

Volumes are horrible, how would I easily edit a config file of the programm running inside, if the container deosnt even start.

Bind mounts + ZFS datasets are the way to go.

Your best bet is probably PostmarketOS, its not debian but alpine, but does support the phone and aparrently still gets some updates.

Theres a link on the page to the non T variant with flashing instructions.

I use traefik, but caddy should work too. I can share the docker-compose files I use later.

I didn’t understand the docs either, that’s why I’m using https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit insted

ZFS doesn’t require lots of RAM, more RAM just improves the caching (ARC) it can do. You can set ZFS to use all unused RAM as ARC, so it doesn’t interfere with other services running on the same PC. I ran ZFS with lots of VMs on an old office PC with 16GB RAM and it was still able to max out a 10gig nic.

I’m currently using Astro for that. You can write the pages in markdown, html or one of the many js frameworks. It also allows you to mix them.

By default it generates static websites with out any js, but it allows you to add js where needed. Optional server side features are wip, if you decide to need them later on.

They also have pre made themes on their website if you don’t feel like writing css.

My solution is to create a docker network with the macvlan driver connected to a bridge interface on the host. Then you make the database listen on the bridge or just leave it on all interfaces. Don’t forget to configure the ips.

I can share my config later.
