Moving the private cloud to a mini PC

This is a continuation of my private cloud project.

Why I changed the hardware

The old Ryzen PC did the job, but it had some drawbacks for a server that runs all the time:

Cost: it used a lot of power, and that cost adds up every month.
Efficiency: the new hardware is more efficient, so it does the same work while using less energy.
Noise: the old PC was loud. The mini PC is much quieter, which matters when it sits in a room where I work or rest.

Those three reasons were enough to replace the old PC with a mini PC, the Prittec F9.
