I'm looking for recommendations for inexpensive but reliable ARM / fanless small server at the lowest cost possible. The software on it will be debian/ Yunohost (a git forge, nextcloud, some internal docomentation, etc).
Min-specs: 4-8GB RAM.
Budget: Hopefully under $250, or something I can find in the used market.
I was told rasberry pi's are not as reliable, is there better?
@NiwlCraft do you know why raspberry pis "aren't reliable"?
I have a pi 3 and a pi 2 that have been running for years without issue.
One is running pihole DNS and wireguard VPN (my network doesn't work if it doesn't work, if it goes down it's obvious) and no discernable issues with them, no outages.
@coolcoder360 Not sure either.
I think using pis for Yunohost it might be different because it's also to make sure apps we want to use are well supported or upgrade well without a hitch on ARM, but that's an ARM problem in general that will get better over time.
I have a pi4 laying around but the 4Gb ram model seems a bit underpowered for our needs. I love the low power consumption though.
