In the next autumn/winter I would like to try to set up a self hosting solu= tion

And I'd love it to be GuixSD based

I need some help with selecting the hardware that fits the goal
Hardware is not exactly my thing

A Beaglebone board (or equivalent) ? An Intel NUC (or equivalent) ?

It should probably serve a collection of static files over https, have a sm= tp server and an IRC bouncher.

Optionally I'd like it to run some bittorrent or rsync or synchthing or= ipfs or DAT and a Gnunet node.

I'd love to be able to attach some external hard drives to it, both tra= ditionl hard drives and SSDs.

In the last few years the ADSL that serves my apartment has improved dramat= ically

It used to be 300 Kb/s in upload for years

Now it's around 19 Mb/s

The optic fiber cord reached the cabinet just aside the building main entra= nce

The copper fragment is now only a few meters.

So I could use some hardware suggestions to set up such a solution based on= GuixSD

It has to be cheap AND moderate in electricity consumption, possibly like a= home router (or something)

Thanks for any hint

Hello,

if you have some space and you are not afraid by noise, I would go for a ho= memade computer.
That would allow you to add network cards if you need and lot of hard drive= s.

If you go for a NUC or a mini-itx computer, that will not allow you to upgr= ade, and you may be limited to
1x 2.5" disk + 1x SSD in m3 format.

You just need :

- a processor (pentium/celeron, cheap and works well, and won't consume= much)
- hard drive
- motherboard (you can by a cheap motherboard, look at the number of SATA p= orts)
- case (cheapest possible)
- power supply (buy a good one but not with a lot of power, 80+ standards c= an help to choose)
- 2x memory (2/4/8 Gb as you want)


Ok, no exotic h= ardware

Thanks, Sol=C3=A8ne !
