I have it on an old laptop (running on a virtual box, managed by vagrant as a system service, accessed by either SSH or remote desktop).
So much more reliable than a pi, and with the benefit of a built in UPS.

I have it on a Pi (3B+ I think) and it happily runs for months at a time.
I don't interact with it that much, it's used for various triggers, but rare I have an issue.

Docker on unRAID on a HP Microserver. Very low power usage.
Like @TW says an old laptop is a good shout as a low power server.

What are you guys hosting homeassistant on these days?
I’ve got it running in proxmox on an old enterprise grade desktop pc I got for free from my in-laws office, and it’s absolutely rock solid, but it was never intended to be a long term solution as it’s bulky and probably more power hungry than it needs to be just to host HA.
I had it set up on a raspberry pi 3b+ in our old house and it was very unreliable, so I’m slightly scarred from that experience. Is the 4 much more reliable? Or any other single board/micro computers worth considering?
