I personally have a K3S cluster I host at home and an auto-scaled cluster in Hetzner. I see different use cases and am happy to have both.

One thing to mention is that you can also run your own tunnel with something like pangolin on a VPS (CX23 is plenty). Thus, you could have a cheaper could bill if you wanted a hybrid setup.

Also, I highly recommend moving your node to a data center closer to home.

I’m running Immich on an old ThinkCentre with the default feature set. Currently looking at:

  • Server: 1.4 GB
  • ML: 288 MB
  • Valkey: 8 MB
  • Postgres: ~500 MB

There is a bit more overhead for the control plane and cloud-native PG operator/backup pods but my instance fits comfortably inside a ~4GB allocation.

I guess if the serious thing you’re doing is a CRUD app?

Tell that to YouTube and Spotify. Or astronauts on the ISS. Or anyone doing science really…

Machine learning and CV? Geospatial? Math in general?

It’s probably just that I got used to it with XFCE at some point. My main two concerns:

  • I love having the path in the navbar (and not have to Ctrl-L)
  • I don’t like having devices tucked behind “Other Locations” rather than in the sidebar

Otherwise, I find Nautilus much more aesthetically pleasing.

Server is meant for all users of a single server.

So, you could buy 1-3 individual licenses or the server license for 4+ users.

I would go with 16GB for the kinds of things you listed.

If you don’t need a 3.5in drive then I would go even smaller to a mini form factor. It will definitely save you money on electricity. I think it’s the main choice here.

I would go for refurb, business line SFF machines. Something like ThinkCentre or Optiplex. Specific form factor based on drive needs but the smaller you go the more power efficient. I have one on the bigger side (internal psu) that runs about 12W idle.

Just double check that it can handle hardware transcoding. Should fit right in your budget!
