$6 vps probably has no storage. E.g 5tb hetzner box is more like $14 a month. Pis are absurd though for homelabbing today, prices have not fallen relative to other cheap compute. For the price of a $90 pi you can get a used mini pc with an i5 8500 with memory and storage on ebay today. Double that and you can get a new asus minipc with an 8 core 9700t. All with a case and psu. The asus minis are even designed to stack nicely as a cluster arrangement.
