Hello folks a wild Dell optiplex 320 appeared to me for $38,00.
Core 2 duo processor 4gb RAM (which I can easily upgrade) 160gb HD (which I’ll certainly change for a 1TB SSD
I would use It as a file server, maybe with nextcloud. It is Just for myself maybe S.O.
What’s your toughts on It? Pass or get?
$38 is great. I’d wager if a raspberry pi can do it, so can this machine. A pi can run Nextcloud and some other services together just fine.
Nextcloud on Pi was really slow for me.
Did you set up redis as well?
Just used the default sqlite3 database. Was it slow because of the database?
sqlite should be okay but redis helps with loading. It caches pages or something, basically does all the work of building the web pages before they’re actually requested so it isn’t done on the fly.
My Nextcloud set up on my i5-4690k was painfully slow as well because I didn’t have redis. I never got it set up properly and gave up.
I think the 1gb ram of my Raspberry Pi is enough for that.
