Yes, a Raspberry is a viable option. These days I do most of my computing on a Raspberry Pi 4 attached to my home router: https://fatcity.it/ https://fatcity.it/ One thing you really need is an SSD, though. I use a cheap Kingston, it works great but you must pay attention to the right USB->SATA adapter, picking one that's fully compatible with UAS drivers. For booting directly from the SSD with Ubuntu there is this useful guide: https://jamesachambers.com/raspberry-pi-4-ubuntu-20-04-usb-mass-storage-boot-guide/ https://jamesachambers.com/raspberry-pi-4-ubuntu-20-04-usb-m... Performance wise, this little computer runs mostly like a common VPS, I think on par with a droplet from Digital Ocean, for example. Here some benchmarks: https://pibenchmarks.com/benchmark/62022/ https://pibenchmarks.com/benchmark/62022/ If you don't want to share your IP, a Cloudflare tunnel is a great alternative: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps/ https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections... Also, another essential tool is Tailscale, with it I can access my home server from basically everywhere just like a LAN connected device: https://tailscale.com/ https://tailscale.com/ PS: You can also do your own tunnelling with OSS alternatives, if you have enough patience/time. Anyway, feel free to ask anything.
