Nostr Web Client

I have an old pc, i3 6th generation, 4Go RAM, 1To HDD.

I would like to make it a home server, do you think it’s possible with theses specs ?

I was thinking TrueNAS or Embassy OS

If not, what use can I make of it ?

Maybe add more RAM depending on what you’ll be “serving”, but that should work quite well. Save for the ram, that’s way more powerful than the rpi4 I’m currently using as my home server running a Bitcoin node, file server, a personal relay, and a few other goodies.

I will see if I can expand that RAM, you are running Raspberry OS or something else ?

I’m running Umbrel, link below. Educated guess, ram for your system should be pretty cheap. 8 would be great, 16 ideal.

I’m running Umbrel on a second pc and it’s 🔥 , thanks for the help ! 💜

Your guess was right on the money, max RAM for the laptop is 12Go, and 8Go RAM costs 21 dollars. That’s my project for this weekend

You should be able to find a guide for your exact laptop on how to do it. It’s usually pretty simple.

#[4] is much better

Definitely something I’ve looked in to. I’ve got no real loyalty to Umbrel, other than laziness about switching.
