Hi, I’m looking to buy a small computer to upgrade my setup for selfhosted servers. Right now I’m running containers directly on my qnap nas but I would like to migrate most of them on a dedicated server. I’m looking for something that could run docker with stuff like plex, arrr apps, Torrenring, wireguard, vault garden and more. I would like for that server to be very power efficient, something running with as low as 65w TDP or less and also I would like it to be a small computer, something like beelink or Lenovo tiny form factor for example . I looked some small pc from Lenovo, Dell, hp and as I understood it is a bit messy with the power usage depending of the cpu. So I was wondering what would me options be here? Is there other people here who also wanted to run power efficient servers if yes what did you found?

Crazy that nobody pointed you to a bulletproof Intel NUC.
I think it is because they are more expansive ? If i’m not wrong
More expensive yes, but insane warenty, highest quality, follows specs and actually rated for 24/7 operation
Definitely more expensive, but you can get used ones from a few generations ago for cheap on eBay
