Small computers are more powerful than you think, if used properly. I stick with a bunch of containers instead of VMs and it all just hums along nicely on a Raspberry Pi 5.

Pi-Hole running all the time barely registers as a workload.

An N150 mini PC don't cost that much more once you consider that it comes with storage as well, not looked since RAM went silly though.
