    My internet provider offers up to 4 sim cards per account. They cost once 10€, without a monthly fee. However they have only 300mb of high speed traffic. But this should be just fine for a tracker, no? Just have a look in your customer portal. Maybe you’ll find something there too


  • If you want to start cheap, I can recommend you to use an old notebook. In my opinion it’s the perfect home server for beginners.

    • It’s cheap (most people have an unused laying around anyway)
    • If it’s old enough to still have a dvd drive, you can replace it with a second sata ssd. There are cheap frames for this available.
    • it has a battery, so it can shutdown if there is a power outage
    • It’s slim. You can just throw it on your closet and forget about it

    Most services don’t need much. So it’s just fine if your “server” is like 10 years old. My first notebook server had 2 cores and 4 GB ram and it run Proxmox with like 10 lxc containers just fine.
