I recommend going with Debian (without desktop) and Docker compose. You can use something like Dockage to make it easier.
I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as [email protected] until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

I’m happy with my little N100
Oh, that doesn’t sound great. One reason I was looking into it was because Docker seemingly doesn’t allow optional mounts which has been causing some issues. My home assistant is using a network attached USB device through a raspberry pi somewhere else in the house. Sometimes it would disconnect and take down my entire home assistant instance.
I want to look into quadlets
I recommend going with an N100 based system if you want low power usage. I doubt old workstations that support multiple drives idle near 10W, the mini PC variants might, but they would require a DAS for the HDD’s.
I have personally chosen an ASUS N100I-D D4 motherboard with a m.2 to 6x SATA card and it has been working fairly well.
I seriously doubt those stay below the desired power usage

I do have some issues with read speeds but that’s probably networking related or due to using RAID5.
17W for an N100 system with 4 HDD’s
Cool. I haven’t transcoded most of my music to a supported format yet, but I might try this out after I have.
Why did you pick N8N over Node-RED?
Yes, it is. I’ve been using the OSS image and it has been working quite well.
It’s quite limited. I would recommend Grist instead.
