Hardware for homeserver

[jafi]

Hi,

 

I need help with the hardware for my homeserver project. I have 200/200 Mbps connection at home and I wan't do something cool with it. 

 

Software for my server: Unraid

Active users ~10.

 

Services to run via docker:

 

- Nextcloud with photos, calendar, mail, collabora, on some other 'plugins' 

 

- Airsonic for streaming music, I don't like spotify

 

- WireGuard for 10 device: Remote tunneled access (routing all traffic through the VPN and out Unraid's Internet connection) 

 

- Minecraft Server for 10 players

 

- Pi-hole for blocking all ads from the internet

 

 

Ryzen 5 1600 with 32gb memory?

check used xeons, like a e5-2650 v2 with cheap DDR3 ECC

R5 1600 should be enough for that, but I personally would recommend hardware that is built for 24/7 use. Old xeon powered workstations can usually be picked up for $400 or less and are built with always on operation in mind, with good to great expandability.

Thank you for the info. Little update. I also would like to run 1-2 VM, OSX and Windows (for AutoCAD). But is 6 cores enough? Ryzen 5 3600 is my current selection, but with those two VM's is it enough? With two GPU. Used xeon are quite expensive here (Europe). 

 

VM's does not need to run 24h. Only when I need them.
