I want to self host. But I want it to be low effort. How should I go about it?
I want to self host in order to run Nextcloud, Firefly III, Home Assistant, maybe Photoprism, and maybe a couple other things down the line. And I want it to be fast and with low maintenance.
What would be the best thing for me? PikaPods? Can synology servers run those apps?
I can’t personally attest to the “easy to use self hosting OS” since I immediately installed Ubuntu (soon to be Debian) but the hardware is good and the preinstalled OS should let you get a feel for things.
Try OpenMediaServer on a Odroid H3+ and install the programs through Docker containers. Use a Thermal Grizzly Cryosheet instead of thermal paste under your cooler for zero maintenance
