With all this migration i’ve been inspired to start self hosting some services.

I am looking for a mini pc to ideally run linux and host a media server with radarr and sonarr, pihole and some other stuff as i start getting more into self hosting.

Any recommendations / experiences that you can give? Or some general guidelines on what i should look for or things to avoid.

Thank you!!

    The Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 is an excellent cooling solution that juuuust fits in the case. One thing to just clarify is that the deskmini requires a GPU - it can’t be run headless at all.

    It really is excellent. It’s my home server and it hasn’t broken a sweat running dozens of services. Jellyfin can use the GPU for video transcoding on the fly too, so that helps make that not a complete waste.
