I have an old Windows Server for some eHome-applications... I was planning to look into Nodered but I cant find an compatible version for my old windows server...

I have two servers available, 2008 R2 and one Home Server 2011... can I run Nodered on any of these or is the bottom level the 2012 R2 for Nodered?

As long as you can find a version of nodejs that runs on them you may be ok. But I wouldn’t connect them to the internet due to lack of security patches. You would probably be safer trying to repurpose one with a small Linux build like Ubuntu Mate or similar.
