How will I know how many services I can run on my self hosted server? - eviltoast

Hi y’all. I’ve got an Intel Nuc 10 here. I want to run a few apps on it, like BitWarden, PiHole, NextCloud, Wireguard, and maybe more, just for my own use, inside my home.

Is there a way to guage whether the hardware is up to the task in advance? Like, if love to be able to plan this by saying, “this container will use x MB of ram and 5% of the cpu” and so on?

I want to run everything on this one PC since that’s all I have right now.

EDITED TO ADD: T****hank you all! Great info. :thumbsup

    It sounds like it could easily run these. You could probably get away with a newer raspberry pi for them so the nuc should have no issues.

    For reference the heaviest thing for me has been Home assistant os, which needs dedicated ram and cores for it’s VM. I’ve had no issues with running almost a dozen services on a 4790k based system along HA including: Immich, plex, radarr/sonarr/prowlarr/etc, usually a dedicated game server for Valheim or Minecraft or something, and some other lighter services.

    I think ram (16gb) is going to be the limiting factor in my case but I haven’t hit that limit yet
