Unifi OS/Omada controller, Nginx Proxy Manager ( NPN ), you know, small stuff that does not need 5600+ GB6 score
But can you guarantee its behavior under load?
Always end up putting a Tor middle relay on an idler if I can't think of anything to do with it / don't use it very frequently. Do a good thing, help out your fellow internet users at < 5 min setup cost for you!
in my 64Mb ram lxc i run shadowsocks-rust proxy. Alpine Linux. Runs really well.
selection of wireguard setups, cost me less than a vpn subscription.
1x NixOS with Caddy and Tailscale to expose my NAS over the internet
2x Globalping probe
1x Tor relay, postfix
Stuff I'm planning to set up:
Everything else is on my NAS or other servers and tunneled through some VPSes.
Reverse proxy, VPN, light web server, OpenClaw, bots.
And if you leave it unattended long enough (without automatic security updates): heaps and heaps of malware.
1x K3s node with a few lightweight containers
1x Caddy reverse proxy
1x WireGuard VPN
1x Uptime Kuma monitoring instance
1x Forgejo instance with a small CI runner
1x Prometheus exporter stack
1x Ansible and Terraform control node
1x SSH bastion host
1x disposable dev and testing environment
2 GB RAM can handle quite a bit when you avoid resource heavy workloads.
EDIT : Also use it to test my own OS, built from scratch, with providers that support custom ISO
I host bugs
