Hi, I need to help choose server for beginner. I want to selfhost together for example : friendica, pixelfed, matrix, invidious, website (not for public), email, search engine and try different plugins and bridges It should be just somthing personal for me to learn how to use decentralized software and be independent from big tech.
Do you want a Virtual Server or are you maybe interested in having your own physical server at home? My first home server was an 8-year-old HP office PC running Ubuntu 16.04 with a Corei5 processor and 8 GB RAM, that I got for 80 EUR and upgraded with a 1 TB SSD. I think it would have managed all that you listed just fine as long as you only have a few users…
