It will be way easier with simple virtual machines, in my case there is a home server, used, second hand, 2,000USD, split to VMs (600$ new disks)

The work is happening inside the VMs, nothing else is installed on the main server, VMs can be reset, recreated, etc.

I wish I had a home server like that! I currently have some old computer that is running my Home Assistant instance and it can barely handle that. I can't really afford a new computer right now, even second hand; and electricity is also not cheap...

I ended up doing something like you've done but with Docker containers, it's lightweight (compared to VMs) and does the job. Thank you for your suggestion!

What are you running on those VMs?
