Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I faced pretty much the exact same choice, except I was given four of them, each with 8 GB of RAM.
Unfortunately they were two different hardware revisions, so the most I could achieve was two servers with 16 GB each.
They sound like a Jet taking off when powered up and the BIOS doesn't support lower fan speeds.
Instead after months of deliberation I decided to go with a SFF Lenovo, 32 GB, 2 x 1 TB NVME, Ryzen 7, and bought this:

It's whisper quiet and running Proxmox.
To get VM video passthrough to work I installed an extra video card, though, you could install a desktop on the host OS instead if you prefer.
The video card I used to fit inside is this:
