Hey folks,

I’ve got this older Intel NUC5CPYH mini PC gathering dust, and I’m curious if it could handle VitalPBX for a super basic VoIP project. Specs-wise, it’s running a Celeron N3050 (dual-core, starting at 1.6GHz and boosting to 2.16GHz), with 8GB of DDR3L RAM and an SSD thrown in for storage. It’s not a powerhouse, but it does fine with simple Linux stuff day-to-day.

Anyone out there tried VitalPBX on something similar? I’m talking a tiny setup—just about 5 users, with 5 simultaneous calls usually, or maybe up to 10 on a busy day. No big enterprise vibes here. Would this hardware pull it off without hiccups, or am I asking for trouble? I’d love any pointers on fine-tuning it or red flags to avoid.

Appreciate the insights!

VitalPBX bigger “cousin” (the one with the frog logo) has been run in production on RPi for 20 years. You’d be fine
