It sounds like you want a Synology, at least hardware-wise. This one supports up to 6 GB of RAM, four SATA ports, and idles with low wattage and low noise.

Built-in virtualization and docker. It's $500 at Newegg.

They make bigger ones, of course.



Are you stuck with their software though? I've ended up pretty deep down the NixOS rabbit hole...


No idea. I'd love to know.

On the other hand, I'd wager you can look at what chipsets they chose, and cobble the same thing together for less (maybe even with 8gb).

I decided I didn't want my data backup to be a hobby, so I hold my nose and use their stuff.

It's fine, and it has some nice stuff like let's encrypt reverse https proxies, it emails every time the power or network drops, etc, etc.
