is there a wiki, FAQ, or similar set of reading that I might ingest before asking a dumb question? with apologies for jumping the gun, I would like to know what are the supported hardware platforms and if there has been success with the likes of, say, Synology (without using their software. would it take a complex virtual container for example), or even Ubiquity cloud key plus (is this a Linux platform?). see my questions reflect a basic lack of understanding of what BI was written for , and that I'm trying to make use of my existing hardware

I suspect there is merit in obtaining an inexpensive windows machine -- I get that. I just wanted to explore the edges of reality
