Java Vanilla: A Raspberry pi 3 or better would do the trick and not suck much power.
Alternatively there are servers that host a vanilla Minecraft instance just fine starting from like $4.50 to $6 for 3 months (a 1GB node)
Java Modded: Take an old laptop that has at least as much RAM you need to run the mods. A desktop is fine too but will draw more power and be costlier to run.
Install Linux, Java or OpenJDK, Forge/Paper/[Your Modengine here], Minecraft and the mods and you're all set.
If you're willing to get your hands a little dirty with scripting, once you know the command to start the server you can create a script that will re-issue that command if your server crashes randomly.
Raspberry 3 is too weak for 1.13+, but raspi 4 should be able to handle it. Alternativly any old PC works/ a VPS for 5$/month is enough for 5 people with a bunch of mods.
fair, all depends on the version op wants to play. 1.16 and up appear to be somewhat more demanding performance wise.
A raspberry pi doesn't work for me. Far too little power. The server would print several 'Couldn't keep up' messages then crash.
