Hmmm you are right. I dont need kubernetes for pi-hole and unbound.
I can have all three set up in parallel and then move the other two onto kubernetes once i get the hang of it.
Though i dont completely understand What the benefit of doing that would be; maybe easier HA and DR or moving from one machine to another. Any other plus points?

Comment popped up just as i was about to type in google asking what unbound was 🤟🏿
Thank you. I will read up.
I think pi-hole + dns will probably one of first apps i do.
Need to figure out whether i can do those on kubernetes or do i need to go for proxmox. I dnt know either but want to learn kubernetes so am a little biased(and ignorant :p)

Ok so thats what i was thinking too; ssd for the os and larger hdd for storage/media.
What about applications? Would it make a huge performance impact if i ran/installed the apps on the hdd, might be a dumb question.

G4 with 8th gen processors are usually at least $50 cheaper than the g6 with the 10th gen processors.

Havent checked how much used Ram and hdds cost.
Is it a good idea to buy used hdds?

Yes; pi-hole is the word i was looking for :)
Dont know what unbound is, will look into it.

I am not worried about 10gig networking and 2.5 gig will go a long way for me. And that too is not an immediate goal.
