I want to move from my RPi4 to a mini server, for example Beelink Mini s12 Pro (N100+16GB DDR4 Ram) or Blackview Mini Pc MP80 (N95+16GB LPDDR5 RAM). Currently I run Homeassistant+Paperless NGX and I want to run a Linux Distro additionally in the future.
So, this processor type only supports up to 16GB (officially). Will this be enough for Proxmox? Or should I switch to a Ryzen CPU to get 32GB+?
And also, should I choose LPDDR5 instead of DDR4 RAM? Most mini-pcs offer DDR4 ?!
Sorry, but the amount of different configurations of mini-pcs is so overwhelming.
Depend on how much you spin the VM, with 8GB ram you can spin 2-4 VM. In 16 GB maybe 4-8 VM.
