Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Look for some refurbished thinclients or use a second-hand laptop. If needed upgrade it with a SSD.
Something like this my only question is do you have to use the HP firmware or can you just run Linux on it?
You can easily install Linux on it. I actually have that exact model, but the CPU is a bit weak for most stuff.
just make sure you get something with intel or amd cpu. some very old thin clients used via.
Old computer is a great option. Mine only pulls 50 watts which means no more than 40 dollars a year.
