Hello!

I'm currently based in EU but am planning to go to eastern europe contry to visit my familiy and vacation. I always wanted to seed 24/7 but the electricity bills, plus many other stuff doesn't allow me to host a server here.

I'm thinking to during my time in that country to build a small compact seeder server. Any reccomendations? I'm planning as to not use VPN on the server as I don't think it will be needed.

My plan is to use an old computer with about 10 tbs of storage attached to it. All parts will be used as to not blow my budget.

Any reccomendations as how should I safely access that server and through what programm?(preferably free or non subscribtion based)?

Also any critique of the idea or any other reccomendations for the project?

As much bandwidth and storage you can have, even a Raspberry Pi 4 would work I think

I want to host about 2 TBs for start, but may upgrade in the future. raspberry pi 4 is nice, but I think it is more expensive option in terms of hardware. But probably less in the long run.
