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.

Servers are terrible for homelab use. They're unwieldy, consume way too much power and as you've found they're very noisy. My vote goes to selling the thing and getting a mini PC, an (old) laptop or building something quiet and frugal yourself. In the last case you might be able to reuse some parts you already have. But if cost is important almost nothing beats second hand mini PC's in value for money.
Servers have their place in a home lab but it's not if it lives in your office. 64GB in a server doesn't make sense though. You can get more than that in a MS-01 at probably a lower price and lower power use.
