New mini-pc to run Linux and Home Assistant on

Ahh damn, my Raspberry PI died so now HomeAssistant is down

I want to get a proper mini-pc to run HA now and not having to deal with low memory or not enough CPU power but I also don’t want an electricity hog (because it gets connected to a UPS)

It should run Linux with HA via Docker so I can also run other services on it, so I’m not looking for it to run the HAOS.

Any recommendations on what to look for?
Low budget if possible :slight_smile:

Hi, there are quite some similar threads about this so I will not repeat those.

What I would recommend though is to have a look at Proxmox VE which gives you a lot of options in a very user-friendly and powerful way to run multiple services on a system.

N100 based mini-pc’s use little more power (and cost almost the same as) then a Pi 5 with SSD
