The specs are: AMD Embedded G-Series GX-420GI Radeon R7E 2,0GHz 8GB RAM 32 GB M.2 Flash memory

Apparently no support for NVMe so I’d need to buy a new SATA SSD. It’s not a powerhouse but I thought it seemed like a good deal, even though it might be a bit dated. What are your thoughts? Would I be able to run a few stuff like Tailscale, piHole, irssi, nginx, Jellyfin (w/o transcoding), some other small docker containers on it?

    Hey! My home server is an HP T630 with a GX-420 GI as well, but only 4 GB of RAM. I upgraded from a Raspberry Pi 3 and it’s been awesome. I’m currently running 18 Docker containers on it without issue. I use Jellyfin on my primary workstation that has my media instead if this server, but I run things like Paperless, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Gitea, Wallabag, Pi-hole, NocoDB, and many more. It’s been great, I think thin clients are a great low-cost, low-power solution to x86 home servers.

    I paid around $40 or $50 USD for mine, so $10 sounds great!

    Let me know what questions you have. I can try throwing Jellyfin on it to see how it performs too.

      Thanks a lot! Sounds perfect, and definitely like the things I want to run too! Yeah I currently run Jellyfin on my workstation as well as my drives are all connected to it, but yeah maybe if I decide to make a NAS in the future I might look at getting some other hardware than this thin client. So Jellyfin on this piece isn’t a must.
