At home I run: Raspberry pi 4 8GB with a 22TB external hdd and 1tb external ssd. For uhhhh media. Runs *arr stack and samba. Raspberry pi os (debian) with everything defined in a docker compose file. Also runs tailscale. Having my entire media library anywhere I have one of my devices is pretty sweet and setup was stupid easy. No plex. An i3 NUC for hosting a game server for some friends. Think it runs ubuntu server. Runs Valheim. Also in docker compose. A mitac board with dual GbE and a low power intel cpu N3-something. Runs pfsense. For learning and tinkering I spin up VMs in hetzner and delete them when I’m done. We use AWS via terraform at work and I’m not likely to work somewhere where physical servers is something I’d deal with so using the most likely interface I’m going to be put in front of makes more sense for me. Having everything in terraform really is lovely, from networks to machines it’s all in my editor.
