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've done both, there are very few scenarios where I'd pick a full sized server over a few mini PCs in a homelab. The only time I'd consider a larger footprint in a homelab is for a custom built NAS.
I have all the services you've mentioned and more and I'm pretty sure I could comfortably host them on a singular mini PC that I could pick up on ebay for $200 at most. Switching to a Mini PC is also making it easier for you to consider things that require multiple discrete systems in the future and there's a lot of cool things you can do in that space.
Even for the larger footprint, I would just use a larger desktop case.
If power is a big enough issue that dual power supplies would help, i'd rather run three small computers or desktops in a k8s setup.
