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 Raspberry Pi 4 and newer are reliable. I've had a CM4 on an IO board + PCIe x1 SATA card with 2 NAS disks as my off-site back-up server for a couple of years. (Currently off-line.)
The older PIs were a problem though as the network card shared the USB bus with any USB connected harddrives = using external USB drives could timeout your internet connection.
But as PIs are expensive now it's most likely better to find something used for cheaper.
