LB: On top of ethical domain registries, what would be the minimal rig for self hosting stuff?

What I envision is hosting some ActivityPub thing, maybe a Matrix server, and private cloud storage.

It doesn't have to be fast. I know this isn't some corp thing.

Would it be like, a Raspberry Pi, an SSD, and other stuff? To complicate matters, I only have a laptop. No monitor. So I'd need to connect it to my TV or remote connect to my laptop.

Being able to do it with open source stuff would be a bonus. A Pine board or whatever instead of a Raspberry Pi.

Cost is a bit of an issue. I'd prefer < $400USD. Though if there are clearly better options for more, I would like to hear about them.

Lastly, I would prefer something small that doesn't produce much heat. I'm going to shove it in a cupboard with my router and a ton of wires, so a server rack this isn't.

Thanks for all your help!
