Guys is there any topic or thread about running your own mining pool on this forum? I want to know the requirements it takes to have your own pool for Bitcoin, BCH and other sha256 coins and make it public.

Any tutorial will be appreciated.

Check the Mining board. Maybe move this topic there, too. Might help get faster responses to your questions. Also, check Mining Support and Pools child boards. Your question might already have an answer there. Good luck! ☺️

I've seen similar requirements:
"Dedicated Servers
Tier 3 with backup power.

Server parametersProcessor: minimum 8–16 cores (for example, AMD EPYC or Intel Xeon).
RAM: from 32 GB to 64 GB RAM (for fast processing of shares and transactions).
Disk space: fast NVMe SSDs with a capacity of 2 TB or more for storing full BTC and BCH nodes.
Network connection Communication channel from 1 Gbit/s with protection against DDoS attacks at levels L3, L4 and L7.
"

Pool Server Software: Miningcore or Node Open Mining Portal

Some people are using Mining core on Linux and windows and they are recommending this because it's more simpler for beginners than other.

The first step is to setup Mining core
You need to also configure the coin node for Miningcore by creating a node application file and also setup docker container.
The last step is adding the coin to Mining core.

You can find tutorial on YouTube.

Umbrel and ZimaOS are way easier to run for newbies

You don't even need intel Xeon or EPYC CPu, any new age CPU will work fine, there are so many tutorials online, they don't take too much CPU power and 16gig ram will be fine.

1TB is enough if you are going for Digibyte and Bitcoin Cash.
If you want Bitcoin too you should have 2TB installed.

Have you tried creating a mining pool with low-end hardware? Umbrel and ZimaOS are good solutions for running your own Bitcoin and Lightning nodes, but a pool requires more modern hardware unless you want to mine solo.
The more hashrate you plan to connect, the more powerful hardware you'll need.
