Main problem is, ram isn't upgradable on recent Apple tech, and you'll need ram for containers, if you're gonna host it to the CPU limit, if not, then even more so, brand new intel n100 mini pc for 100-150$ is gonna do wonders for you in self hosting field, what I'm saying is, if your MAIN goal is self hosting, then Mac is not optimal, i mean, you can buy Mac mini for your daily tasks and intel n100 mini pc for pocket change you'll have left after buying Mac, and host your projects on intel one while using Mac yourself
