Looking for low power devices for selfhosting (lemmy.world)

Hi friends. I'm a newbie in self-hosting, though I've been managing (virtual) linux servers at work for a couple of years. I'm completely ignorant on the hardware choices out there, hopefully you can point me to the right direction.

Here are my requisites:

Low power consumption, I plan to have it connected 24/7 and I'm kinda concerned on how much it will impact the electricity bill
Ethernet port, preferably gigabit but whatever
Graphical performance is not important as I don't plan to connect it to any display. As long as I can ssh into it, I'm good.

Services I plan on installing, for starters:

casaOS
pi-hole, or equivalent
Home Assistant
Kitchen Owl (nice to have)
Paperless-ngx (nice to have)

I live in europe and my budget is around 80 euros or so. Thanks in advance!

This serves a couple services, incl. kitchenowl and paperless-ngx very fine for me.
Once, I got it for around 45€.

@pathief@lemmy.world maybe an old raspberry pi would work for you?

@pathief@lemmy.world like raspberry pi 3 in particular
