Hi y’all. I’ve got an Intel Nuc 10 here. I want to run a few apps on it, like BitWarden, PiHole, NextCloud, Wireguard, and maybe more, just for my own use, inside my home.

Is there a way to guage whether the hardware is up to the task in advance? Like, if love to be able to plan this by saying, “this container will use x MB of ram and 5% of the cpu” and so on?

I want to run everything on this one PC since that’s all I have right now.

EDITED TO ADD: T****hank you all! Great info. :thumbsup

    To add to this with another example: my server runs

    • jellyfin
    • Nextcloud
    • gitea
    • Monica (a CRM, look it up on awesome-selfhosted)
    • vaulwarden (rust implementation of Bitwarden)
    • code-server
    • qBitTorrent-nox
    • authelia (2FA)
    • pihole
    • smbd
    • sshd
    • Caddy

    In total, I’m using about 1.5GB out of 6GB of RAM (with another 1GB out of 16GB of swap being used), and the idle CPU usage is only 1%-ish (i5-3470 with the BIOS-settings set to power saving).

    Even on very old and low-powered hardware, you can still run a lot of services without any problems.
