OP here - all of my services run in a VM on the Dell server, including some other VMs used for work. Works pretty well, but you pay a slightly higher energy bill.
As long as only a few users (in my case between 1 and 6) use the services you'd be surprised with how little resources you can get away.
My initial test VM (VMWare) I used had 1 CPU and 1GB memory - it ran Postgres, miniflux, docker registry, gitea and wallabag without problems. CPU mostly idle, memory without a lot of load ~350MB. (Alpine as base for docker)
