You’re just in the middle of the curve still …

And yes, pi’s are waaaaaay overpriced now. Get a used mini pc with a 6500T in it for server needs. It’s more than enough and maxes out at 65W. Most of the time it idles near 12W.

I ended up just buying an industrial mSD card. Has yet to fail.

Maybe I’m an idiot (high possibility) but I couldn’t even get the instance of homebridge docker to work. However, it had zero problems running on hypervisor. You aren’t alone.

Oh I love that!

I did similar once the pi4s were hard to get and expensive. A used x86 mini pc was cheaper and magnitudes more powerful. It runs all my server needs. I’m a simple person: homebridge, plex server, retro game library.
