I want to get into self hosting, i am planning to tget a topton mini pc as a firewall, but i dont know what to get for the actual server hardware. I am thinking of getting a mini pc here aswell because of low power consumption and not so much noise. These are the services i plan to run on mostly docker in proxmox:

- Home assistant
- Wazuh
- Some dashboard service
- Tor node
- Jellyfin maybe
- Nextcloud
- Photoprism
- Nginx proxy manager

And maybe some other stuff later aswell. But i am also considering running my storage on a seperate NAS machine. So what hardware would you recommend for something like this? Budget if its possible is maximum 400$ not including the firewall.

Used Dell Optiplex SFF (Small Form Factor) PC from ebay. They are tiny and total powerhouses for home server stuff. I run one with a 1 TB SSD and 16 TB hard disk, and it runs basically all of that using docker containers. And minus the storage it cost me about $120 bucks.
