The Apple Mac Mini with Apple Silicon makes a great, fast, efficient server for MoneyWorks Datacentre.
However, there is one important thing to know about Mac desktop computers like the Mac Mini:
By default, the Mac will go to sleep after a time and all network connections to the server will hang
This is not good behaviour for a server.
Furthermore, Apple—in their great wisdom—have buried the setting that controls sleep in a hard-to-find place. It is in the Display settings.
In macOS Ventura, the setting is called “Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off”. You must turn this setting on if you are using a Mac as a server.
