I'm no expert, hardly skilled really, so perhaps I'll instigate correction here...

I run everything I can in LXCs on my old crappy hardware and it works like a charm, so with the talk of low power, that might be helpful. I have an optiplex 780 (so yes, fans and the like) running 6 drives, a NAS, nextcloud, nginx proxy manager, alpine running docker running portainer and kitchen owl, and trilium notes. Everything is in LXCs, hardly any CPU usage, about 11gb (75%) of ram. I don't have/know a good way to test power consumption...

But like dude said before, pick a problem in your life and fix it with a self hosted solution. My first projects were a NAS, cause I just had media lying around on drives in drawers, and Nextcloud, cause I was sick of pimping my privacy for convenience from apple/google 😏
