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.

notice the bit about pushing it... say transcoding all the streams etc. I don't know what or how it will be used... thus saying should be fine. Everyones mileage varies no talk about network either, far too many variables to consider thus saying it should be fine!
6th gen Intel CPUs support quicksync. This is a non-issue for most self-hosters.
Here are some stats for my particular HP Elite 800 G3 Mini (i7-7700T/32GB RAM) over the last 18 months, running various VMs and LXCs with varying services (including the VM running my media stack from which my kids stream music and shows quite frequently):
Peak CPU usage is never more than 50%, and the vast majority of memory usage is just cached. Actual memory usage by each VM or LXC is far lower. The IO delays....that was user error (my NAS was having issues at the time).
Don't get caught up in having a completely un-stressed machine. Too much overhead means wasted potential.
Fair, but we're talking about the actual machine on which the services will run - not the network. If the network is garbage, then the $150 machine isn't going to matter a whole lot.
Pretty pictures don't always translate into another users experience though do they, but I appreciate you wanting to argue just because you can
8th gen Intel igpu and it's transcoding streams and supporting a very active immich stack. I have 12 containers and 8 VMs. It's been awesome.
What is that infographic from? Looks like Home Assistant....
OP has a budget of $150. I doubt they are going to be running a full suite of self-hosted replacement services right off the bat. The machine in question is perfectly suitable for quite a lot of things.
