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 echo the other comment, you’ll probably run far more than expected.

    But you also need to think through and consider usage for each service. Is this BitWarden for you, or you and a thousand friends?

    Most services you run will scale up their hardware usage depending on how much load they’re being subjected to.

    Eg, I run Crafty Controller for my kids to manage their Minecraft servers. There’s a huge load different for each additional server.

    Wireguard with no traffic uses barely any resources. Pump high amounts of traffic through it for a lot of simultaneous connections and that’ll change.
