you can buy an old mini comp and load the OS onto there since its FOSS. i got mine for $200 with 2 tb, 16 gigs ram which will be decent for running a btc stack

Yes they specialize in many self hosting apps like bitwarden next cloud and others but I would be careful running other apps like those on the same machine as a bitcoin/lightning node.
