Hello selfhosters.
I’m considering to buy a SFF PC to act as a docker host. The main services / applications I’m going to run is going to be Immich. Filebrowser, Samba-share and eventually Paperless-ngx. I’ve been eyeing PCs with a N100 / N200 specifically to run quiet, and to conserve on energy consumption. I am most likely going for an Asus PN42 and will have an SSD in it to keep the moving parts to a minimum.
To those who are running machines with this CPU and similiar workloads, how has your experience been?
I’ve got a morefine m9 with an n100 in it, it handles nextcloud, immich, paperless, and much more without breaking a sweat. I also chanced throwing 32gb in it and it runs fine.
I’ve got a beelink eq12 pro too with an n305 in it, and it handles all my plex transcoding etc. Doesn’t handle 32gb ram though unfortunately!
Both are very power friendly and work great with HDDs connected through external yottmaster enclosures through USB.
