So I’ve been looking at server hosts recently and haven’t been able find one in Sweden which is where 100% of my mates are located. However I just remembered I have a ryzen 5600 in my room that I could use for a server and that I also have spare drives.
So I have some questions and if you decide to answer them, add any other info you might know.
What else do I need to turn it into a proper home server?
How much ram will I need?
How much power could it consume? (Assume 24/7)
Will it run well with a small-medium (5-40 players) size players on a Minecraft server, optimized fabric 1.21.4? - preloaded chunks with a worldborder.
How much upload speed do I need?
Does the server being fiber or copper matter that much for other users?
Will I have to do any ddos protection for a local server?
Will I need any other software or can I just run it through the console?

id say system wise, 32gb would do you fine for anything. 16 would be cutting it for the server imo
power its a desktop cpu so around as much as said desktop cpu will use as TDP itll consume as power
itll run fine if you optimize and pregen it
if you have upload speeds above 100-200mbps (im not 100% sure but something along the lines of that would be perfect)
fiber or copper, not really. just a stable connection would be good
having tcpshield or neoprotect as your ddos protection for the server will be good. they have locations for what you are looking for pretty sure
you CAN run it through console, or you can have a locally hosted panel that only YOU can acces. also run linux if you do make this a reality

depends where you are, its either impossible. or you alr have more
im in nyc so 100-200mbps is like a minimum. i have 500 mirrored

The highest tier for our network is 50-100mbps
gotcha
Japanese BobtailOP
Oh wait nvm
That was copper
Fiber network is 100-250
For the lowest
@Japanese Bobtail The highest tier for our network is 50-100mbps
Ruddy Ground-Dove
More than fine.
Just be a bit careful.
@Ruddy Ground-Dove More than fine.
Japanese BobtailOP
I’m like on 10mbps rn
Or 25
Ruddy Ground-Dove
Eeh I'd upgrade then.
Or just host outside of the LAN.
40 concurrent people is a lot.

Japanese BobtailOP
I didn’t mean all the players would be on the same network on a lan
Just in the same city or close
Ruddy Ground-Dove
Yeah I'd upgrade.
That upload will be dicey.
@Ruddy Ground-Dove Yeah I'd upgrade.
Japanese BobtailOP
Okay
so I guess I would also need some cheap server case, mobo and dedicated gpu
And psu
you dont need a gpu
servers should Never use gpus
@Tamz servers should Never use gpus

How am I supposed to get a display then?
you run CLI, which needs 0 display
command line interface
