  • Totally overkill if you cut the specs to the half I have the feeling they are still overkill

    The only point are the hdds and the mass storage, I can not decide if it is a lot or not, but for your list I would say that you can even go one order of magnitude down. But it mainly depends if the number of Linux isos you want to archive


  • My points are totally in the other direction:

    • stable, this is critic, if the app is not able to performs its duties with. 2 weeks uptime, then it is bad. This also applies to random failures. I don’t want to spend endless days to fix it
    • docker, with a all-in-image, and as a nice to have the possibility to connect external docker composes for vpn, or databases
    • a moderate use of resources, not super critic, but nobody likes to have ram problems

    And then as a second league that lean the balance:

    • integration with LDAP or any central user repo
    • relatively easy to backup and restore
    • relatively low level of break changes from version to version
    • the gui / ease of use (in like with the complexity of the problem I want to address)
    • sane use of defaults and logging capabilities

    That’s all from my side





  • Fritzbox boxes.

    They tick all the checkboxes

    • good standards support (including dect protocol if you want to have an ip phone or even iot protocols)
    • fast wifi speeds
    • cheap (at least for the second hand in ebay)
    • super stable, never had a problem with them in 5 years or more
    • fast roaming support out of the box

    It is a well known brand in Germany but pretty unknown outside that country. Honestly it is the best bang for buck I was able to get.

    Honestly, I would spend 10 minutes checking on them
