I'm thinking about getting started using Docker and an older Raspberry Pi. I'm already hosting a grafana service on it, so It can't be fully dedicated to ha. So curious what everyone is using.

NUC i7, 32gb ram. Full Docker stack includes home assistant and all relevant containers for it zigbee2mqtt, esphome, vscodium, sqliteweb, rtl_433, mqtt, kokoro_tts, weaviate, zwavejs, openwebui, ollama, paperless with ai capabilities, a1111, whisper, sync thing, searxng, redis, qdrant, postgres. Runs fine, however ollama starts to max it out as I want to go for bigger models, so looking for something with serious gpu oomphbut still small footprint and low power consumption
