I bought a dedicated mini PC for it, and if you just manage it using proxmox it's pretty straightforward (if you already know how to do Linux things and paste the right commands from the tutorial in there).

There's still stuff I need to fix to make it the only smart home controller, right now I have a ton of different stuff (switchbot, meross, Google home and HA).
