As for why they’re getting downvoted, criticizing cars or the use of cars tends to get a lot of negative feedback.

You missed the /s in your comment.
This just screams “stupid new CEO obsessed with trying to implement AI into everything”.
If purchasing something doesn’t mean you own it, then piracy isn’t theft.
Just out of curiosity, what drive configuration are you running?
Exactly. This is a terrible idea. I’m fairly certain that anyone caught doing this would be immediately fired at some companies.
Risking sounding like a broken record, I always suggest Tiny/Mini/Micro 1L form factor office PCs. Lenovo, Dell, and HP all create ultra small office PCs that make great low power servers. A Pi will use 5-9w at idle, while these PCs will use 11-13w idle. They also use more standard components such as NVME drives, 2.5" drives, and replaceable RAM. Easy to find under $100 USD used, I’m sure you can find them under 100 euro.
That’s a lot of money for what you’re getting there. I highly recommend used 1L office PCs, like the Lenovo ThinkCentre tiny machines. They’re regularly under $100 USD on eBay. Although if you prefer something new that’s totally understandable.
I don’t really have any automated manga download processes. I use Neko on my phone and tablet to download new chapters from Mangadex automatically. My manga library in Kavita is all completed series that I grab via torrents.
I run Kavita on my TrueNAS Scale setup. I can’t really recommend it, but there’s not a lot of similar manga/comic self hosting servers out there.
It doesn’t have a feature to auto download manga though. It also won’t organize manga based on folder structure - it only goes by file name, which annoys me to no end since I have my library organized for use with Tachiyomi on my phone/tablet.
I think it’s a bleedover from car culture - you keep your fun car in the garage and have a second car that you’re okay with driving daily. Especially so during winter.
Look up 1L mini PCs - Dell, Lenovo, and HP have similar one liter mini PCs that would’ve been used as a lightweight frontend in offices. They are easy to find on eBay and can be pretty cheap.
For example, my lab at home consists of three Lenovo Thinkcentre tiny machines. I bought them off eBay for $60-80 USD. They each came with a 500gb HDD and 8gb RAM. I have since upgraded them all to a 500gb NVME, 500gb SSD (they have a 2.5" drive bay), and 32gb of RAM. They run as a Proxmox VE cluster.
I think I might have $500 USD into the entire setup, including my 10" wide rack enclosure.
Just a quick list.
That’s not even including the treatment of employees or condition of the factories where Apple devices are built. I don’t know as much about that. But I can definitely comment on the above after managing iPads and Macbooks in a corporate environment.
Oh no, guess the people using Windows at home will have to just settle for using the easily found Microsoft Activation Scripts!
I totally missed that you have an uncontainerized service. Can you run the service directly on the hardware host (safely)? If so, here’s how I would probably run it considering your memory constraints:
Not the cleanest/most separated answer but it would reduce the memory load of additional layers of host/VM/containers. If this isn’t storing any sensitive data or being directly exposed to the internet that should be fine.
If you are dealing with sensitive data or exposing to the internet, I would consider your original plan of Proxmox VMs to separate everything but see if you can add additional RAM to help. Also consider installing something like fail2ban on every host and VM.
The containers in Proxmox (LXC Containers) are a little different from Docker containers. You can’t deploy Docker containers directly as LXC containers. You can, however, run an LXC container and install Docker on it, then run Docker containers there.
In your scenario I don’t think I’d use Proxmox as you’re going to run into issues with lack of RAM. I think you’re going to have issues running out of memory either way though. Running the whole machine as a Docker node would probably be more memory-efficient than having the overhead of running separate VMs under Proxmox.
NGINX should run fine as a container. There’s even an official build available on Docker Hub.
This is the first time I’ve heard of this, thanks! Looks like a good addition to my homelab.
I’ve seen that before, but when I proposed that as a solution it was shot down due to being unsupported by Microsoft. I just wish they had an OEM option to skip it.
Everyone else has described the complications that a Mac mini would have. So why not consider something else? Lenovo, HP, and Dell make 1l ultra small form factor PCs and they’re pretty cheap on eBay. They’re also low power. Search for Tiny Mini Micro to find information.
I have three Lenovo Thinkcentre machines - two with 32gb RAM and one with 64gb RAM - running my Proxmox VE cluster. Highly recommend using those small machines instead of a Mac mini.
