I've gone through the pi rabbit hole to the kubernetes/swarm level. Just skip that stuff at this point and get a mini pc. The money comes out to be the same and I promise it is way less of a hassle.


What make and model would you recommend for a mini PC? I was thinking of getting one lately.


I got a used Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q i5-6500T 4x2.5GHz 8GB RAM 240GB SSD for 100 €.

Plenty fast for a couple of VMs with web servers. It's also a lot better for 24/7 than RPi, as I was always struggling with SD card wear


See also Dell OptiPlex 9020 Mini (i5-4590T 4x2GHz 16GB) - that class of “One Litre PC” make an excellent VPS / multi-VM setup.


Thanks.
