The Zen Cow Says Mu

there is an official docker container to run a bridge, which is probably the easiest option. no idea if it supports pi/arm though.

… that you know of.

I have crowdsec running on my caddy reverse proxy for my home server and it’s logging and blocking at least 10-20 hostile IP addresses trying to do port scans/other automated script hacks every day.

Home assistant in a podman container uses only about 400mb memory and .05% of cpu on my home server.

Put Linux on your mini PC and you can run dozens of services on it without it breaking a sweat.
