umbrel and start9 are great but costly. a nuc or any minipc will do the trick for less than $200.
I thought they were both cheap 😆
diy wins every time. Beelink makes some awesome minis that pack a punch. you’ll be good for a long time. quiet too.
I have NUCs and Beelinks and the Beelinks are far better. Setup and forget. They just work and take anything I throw at them.
