   Reviews discuss Apple's lower energy usage performance for the new Mac Mini with M4 and its good performance in video/audio apps. Would it be a good fit for running a web server with Nginx or Apache, and how much static and dynamic content one could serve from it? Sadly, I don't think so macOS is fully optimized for server-side. Of course, I never tested it so I don't know but it will an interesting experiment for sure considering that AWS has mac Minis

     @nixCraft Although Apple has given up on providing a server OS, a full stack can easily be installed using #macports or #homebrew.

     @nixCraft I’ve never thought about using a Mac for a server. Has anyone tried this? Especially the M-series?
