Synology includes some php runtime or package they require… I think… But I dont expose my services outside.

Idk, $100 or so for 8th gen Intel isn’t too bad, but this is in the us

A used laptop with a messed up screen will work as well.

Ohhhhh… Let me see if this Dell I’m using can run ddr4, I would like to have 16GB of ram

It is but ddr5 is not cheap

I recently picked up a used i3 14th gen to add to my server rack. Its great except ddr5 💸

This is the way.
