Makes sense that basic file hosting shouldn't use much power.
Sharing stuff with friends and family is in my plan, eventually, not sure what approach to take yet, but I'd like to avoid an app for them, if I can (people are resistant to apps, I kind of get it).
I've looked at Nextcloud/Owncloud a few times, and it always seems like a lot more than I need, though I also want to move my calendar, contacts, etc, to my own hosting. Not sure what the right answer is, lol.
My setup already goes quite a bit beyond basic file hosting.
There is no self hosted service I could imagine to need that I'd expect not to be able to host due to CPU constraints. I think I'll run into RAM constraints first; it's already at 3GiB after boot.
