I'm thinking about getting started using Docker and an older Raspberry Pi. I'm already hosting a grafana service on it, so It can't be fully dedicated to ha. So curious what everyone is using.

Put my old PC on a 4U server case and have it in a rack (minus the GPU)... I also added a ton of RAM early last year (thank god). I'm probably wasting electricity but it's fine.. I can spin up anything and everything without issues which is nice compared to my old NUC and laptop servers that would crash frequently.
