I can probably run the CI/CD on my desktop, so if that's the only bottleneck, I can work around it. Or I can spin up a temporary VPS to handle it. I'll have a VPS always running to traffic over my VPN, so it could also manage orchestration (sounds like a fun project imo).
It's just one more thing running. It's not a ton of resources, but it runs an HTTPS server and more RAM means faster updates. Since I run Tumbleweed, an update could be 1-2GB (everything gets rebuilt when a core dependency gets updated).
I could probably run it on a Raspberry Pi (have one for RetroPie), so I'm not too worried about it.
I probably won't need that, I'd just store the video in whatever format the cameras send in. I do have a GPU on this PC (nothing special, just a GTX 750ti), but I think I could live without that if I moved to an SBC.
The main thing I'm concerned about it Collabora/OnlyOffice, which is really RAM heavy. I'll probably only have 1-2 users at a time (me or my wife), and I just think 8GB will be a little lean.
I was super close to getting a Quartz64, but realized upgrading the motherboard and case on my desktop would be about the same price (as Quartz64 + case + PCIe SATA card) and the Quartz64 only has 1x PCIe, so I went for the upgrade (had a Ryzen 1700 w/o motherboard and a couple cases just sitting around). I'd love to go ARM, and a 16GB RAM SBC would probably convince me to switch.
Or motherboards with replacable RAM
