Dockge would be more appropriate for that.
Watchtower has different functionality, mainly keeping them up to date with images.
You want Jenkins, GH Actions, or even ansible.

That is not what the article says.
… Which is the device they specifically mention regarding /e/os in the article.
Oof, seriously. And /e/os is an odd recommendation over graphene.
Let’s see…
My servers (tiny/mini/micros) in total are about… 600W or so. Two NASs, about 15-20W a piece.
I spend a out $150/mo in electricity, but my hot water/HVAC/etc are the big power draw. I’d say about $40-50/mo is what I’m spending on powering the servers in my office.
Definitely puts off some heat, but that’s partially because it’s all in one rack, and I’ve got a bunch of other work hardware in there. It’s about 2 degrees warmer in my office than the rest of my home, but I also have air cycling all the time since it’s a single unit HVAC and I need to keep the air moving to keep it all the right temp in the other rooms anyway (AC will come on more often otherwise, even without my rack).
He recently got laughed at again over Deadpool of all things.
Not really. It’s gone from the alphabet handbook, not Google’s.
Which was a hilarious bit for me recently with a guy saying “I HAVE THE HANDBOK FOR GOOGLE” and getting all upset despite my repeatedly pointing out that it was removed for alphabet, which is a different company.
It also got moved around in the Google handbook a bit. Still exists though.
Fair enough. Most of my work means building out LXC’s and VMs for testing, and with 2 kids I don’t have much time/energy left for gaming, so my setup works for me.
But it’s definitely not for everyone, I already have the pieces in place to make it work nicely. I actually had a windows workstation set up for work, but couldn’t deal with the windows nonsense anymore, which is why I went this route.
It can work on a single machine with an iGPU, but kb/m gets a bit complex. And then there’s streaming over no machine or something, but that has its own drawbacks unfortunately.
Whatever works for you, works for you and that’s what matters
If it works for you, I’ve found running some things as a VM works better than dealing with windows.
Admittedly I have a lot of hardware due to what I do, but I’ve got (multiple, but just one is relevant in this case) proxmox server set up with an extremely tightened up windows 10 build. I’ve removed pretty much everything humanly possible on the windows side, just installing enough for the applications I need.
I then have a GPU that’s passed through to it directly (that machine is headless otherwise). So I’m getting all the GPU acceleration, but without using anything else on Windows, it stays slim and trim so it runs pretty well, and it’s pretty light on ram use.
With the second DP input of my monitor, I come off a video switcher but you can skip that and go right off the GPU. Now you’ve got a lightweight little VM directly connected to your display. Pass through your USB device of choice (I’m assuming a controller here, but you can use a second keyboard/mouse or USB host switch if you want).
Personally I find this approach easier since I don’t have to deal with all the memory gobbling nonsense on the windows side, I get to do my daily work in Linux, and specialty stuff that I just can’t run in wine stays readily available.
BMD bought Resolve maybe 15 years ago now, but the support is not limited to BMD hardware. It was more of a way for them to ensure BMD hardware support in a video editor at the time. Personally I have their web presenter and an older model of their TV studio kit at home (long story), but I also have a variety of other hardware, all of which works just fine with Resolve.
I’m using Resolve on the regular for my VHS conversions, though some tasks would be easier with the premium instead of the free version, I just fill in with ffmpeg or other tools and move on.
Just FYI, the download will ask for an email/name/etc, but the download starts right away, so you don’t need to actually give any PII out to get it.
They still sell laptops, desktops, and servers with Ubuntu pre installed.
I’ve used resolve for quite a few things in the past. It’s an excellent editor, way more than most people will need/use in the free version, and exceeds most corporate editing requirements in the paid version.
Blackmagic Design bought it to have a video editing suite they could tie to their hardware, which I would call similar in design approach. It’s inexpensive for what it does, works really well, but isn’t the top of the line for broadcast.
Most corporate broadcast (think like a bank or something having its own small recording studio, rather than the major broadcasting companies) will leverage BMD at some point in their workflow.
Amazing, and nothing short of it. And completely nuts too.
Yep… It’s permanently where it’s at at purchase.
Which is fine, I don’t store anything on there (Jenkins automations to build, local git repo on another machine, output goes to NAS), but it’s ridiculous how much the upgrades cost.
If I didn’t need a build target for iOS I wouldn’t have bothered with it, that’s for sure.
Or a mini.
I have an M2 mini I use for iOS builds, cheap enough for me to buy and stick in the rack to use for remote builds. I got that a year ago for $600ish iirc.
Bigger number sounds better for the ISP.
That’s what is enabled when you check that box.
So a few comments…
I’d second this, if only because it’s super easy to run things on and OP explicitly said they don’t want to tinker with it. There is a limited list, imo, of buy and forget.
That’s said, I personally think a cheap little 4th gen or higher Intel based tiny/mini/micro would do a way better job on the services side, and just store on the NAS.
Just to add - this “hat” would also likely improve reception.
