I have an early 2000s PC (pre-SATA) with 512MB RAM (I’d love to tell you about the CPU, but its under a cooler that isn’t going anywhere) that’s been sitting in closets for about 15 years. Assuming I’m willing to buy into it, can something like that reasonably host the following simultaneously on a 40GB boot drive:
Nextcloud Actual Photoprism KitchenOwl SearXNG Katvia Paperless-ngx
Or should I just get new hardware? Regardless, I’d like to do something with this trusty ol business server.
Edit: Lenovo or Dell as the most cost-effective, reliable self-host server in your opinion?
It might be nice to use to learn, but you probably won’t be able to handle that much.
If you’re not using it for anything, you could wipe it and throw a server on it? I guess it depends on what you consider fun
It’s currently running RedHat, I just don’t have any ideas for what to do with it. Running a server for anything more than NAS is new to me
disable all other server software there, and only start your own lemmy instance
