I’m not going to network anything. It needs to be flashed or whatever to reset it. Can it be used as a storage device, or maybe an emulator box? I’m clueless over here. Any advice and suggestions would be great. Thanks!

    That’s what I do. I bought a thin client last year, because Raspberry Pi 4s were unavailable to me. So I (fortunately) bought a thin client and got into Proxmox. I have the following containers running on the machine (that i can think of right now):

    • Nextcloud (files, notes, contacts, calendars)
    • Jellyfin (media streaming)
    • Pi hole
    • docker host (with home assistant, traefik as reverse proxy for everything, anything else i want lol)
    • gitlab instance and kubernetes cluster (implemented in three containers, which is just for learning purposes)

    Edit: some of the thing i want to do in the future:

    • paperless-ngx (server that a scanner can send files to so your pc doesn’t have to be powered on i believe)
    • actual budget (budgeting)
    • mediawiki / kiwix (hosting wikipedia dumps)
    • some other dashboard than heimdall for links to all my services
    • a vpn i can log into from outside of my home network (used to have pivpn on my spare raspberry pi, but want to have it as a container)

    Hope i got you some ideas (:

      I don’t know about any of those things. Thank you for listing then so I can look into them.
