My first @home server was an old defective iMac G3 but it did the job (and then died for good) A while back, I got a RP3 and then a small thin client with some small AMD CPU. They (barely) got the job done.

I replaced them with an HP EliteDesk G2 micro with a i5-6500T. I don't know what to do with the extra power.

What are you running on it?

[–] Deway 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Prosody (XMPP server), a git instance, a searXNG instance, Tandoor (recipe manager), Next Cloud, Syncthing for my phone and my partner's (one could say Next Cloud should be enough but I use it for different purposes), and a few other stuff.

It doesn't even use an eight of its total RAM and I've never seen the CPU go past 20℅. But it uses a lot less power than the thin client it replaced so not a bad investment, especially considering its price.

How do you like searxng and have you considered hosting openstreetmaps?

[–] Deway 1 points 16 minutes ago

Searxng is very good, I like it a lot. As for OSM, I didn't even know it could be hosted.
