I'm thinking about getting started using Docker and an older Raspberry Pi. I'm already hosting a grafana service on it, so It can't be fully dedicated to ha. So curious what everyone is using.

I have a HP microserver running Debian and Docker. But it runs far more than just HA. It runs all my self hosted stuff except for my pihole.

Dedicated N100 mini pc. It has more than enough everything…. Except for whisper and other AI stuff. That’s a silly situation where whisper takes longer than the dedicated gpu (and mind you we’re talking RX 6400, not 5090) outputs the results.

Pi5 runs my reverse proxy and then all services run as docker containers on my battery stripped laptop I used in 2020.

The laptop mounts a raid5 HDD array that the pi5 maintains
