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 If ARM is not a strict requirement, I can highly recommend the ASRock Intel N100M. Throw in up to 32 GB DDR4 and some storage (M.2 NVMe or SATA) and put it in any Micro ATX case. I have mine in an old server case with a pico PSU for fully fanless operation.
It's powerful enough to run Jellyfin (with hardware encoding), Immich, Homeassistant and a few other things at the same time.
If you ever need more storage, you can add a PCIe card for more SATA.
