This page lists random stuff about [[Headless Server Software | headlesses]] that people are asking often, and that should probably be on the main page.

== Pre-requisites ==

=== Software ===

There are two main ways to go about hosting a headless.

The easiest way is through [https://docker.com Docker]. With this one, you just have to pull one image, set some variables, and done. You can see more about this one the [[Headless Server Software/Docker | Docker setup page]].

If you want to run the headless on bare metal, Ubuntu or Debian are your best options in terms of friendlyness.

=== Hardware ===

Since the move to .NET 8, then .NET 9, the headless can run well on a '''lot''' of hardware.

Generally, something equivalent to a Hetzner <code>CX22</code> could be enough for a small personal session.

I personally use a <code>CCX33</code> for larger sessions (20+ people) which runs really well.
