With all this migration i’ve been inspired to start self hosting some services.

I am looking for a mini pc to ideally run linux and host a media server with radarr and sonarr, pihole and some other stuff as i start getting more into self hosting.

Any recommendations / experiences that you can give? Or some general guidelines on what i should look for or things to avoid.

Thank you!!

    Self-hosted servers rarely run at high load for longer periods. But if you don’t mind tinkering a bit you can improve cooling quite a bit on laptops. At least putting new thermal-paste under the heat-pipes is something I would recommend for older laptops.
