Is keeping the servers where they currently are (or with a friend) an option? Then you could just VPN into it from abroad.
If that isn't an option, I'm currently running a homebuilt NAS off an Intel N100 Mini-ITX mainboard and I'm impressed with how many services it can run simultaneously, including Quick Sync Video for hardware transcoding.
I could put them in my parents house but then I couldn’t solve technical problems physically. That’s a good idea.
Thanks for the suggestion! You running containers?
Yeah, I'm currently running unraid on it because I wanted a hands-off maintenance experience.
While it's nice to get started, I'm really missing even intermediate Docker features such as support for compose files (so that there is some grouping of main services with the database instance that supports it, etc). Still, it's been working reliably for the year that I've had it.
Edit: I have tried the Docker Compose Manger plugin but didn't find the experience an improvement because of the way the YAML editing works
