My simple home server setup that runs on almost no electricity is a M2 Mac Mini plugged into a multi-bay drive enclosure. I’ve got like 12TB of storage on it, and it consumes almost no power. It’s also got enough umph to run Plex, gitea, and some personal web services without breaking a sweat. Also, if you’re horrible on time, they’re on sale for $400 all the time and are so easy to setup. Apple even has a remote login tool now, so you can access it headless from a laptop too.
