Is it capable of hosting XMPP, IRC, Email and a simple website altogether?
How long is a piece of string?
i run homeassistant, pihole, 2 projects of mine using NodeJS, nextcloud, a very simple static website and Nginx for some DNS customization like pointing nc.home to a specific port. My pi is a 4GB one and for now the used RAM is not even 1 GB. I run debian with no graphical interface
Slaps board of Pi this bad boy can fit so much fucking dust in it.
Username checks out.
Yes.
Xmpp, irc, email and websites are all pretty small in terms of resource usage. Where you’ll have problems are with heavy compute workloads like 3d rendering, AI, 3d gaming (sorry, no crysis), and crypto mining. They all can be done on a rpi but not done well.
Pretty much any containerized web app (pick any of the 100s posted here a week) that isn’t doing any crazy amount of work in the background x20. Thats what I’ve got and still tons of cpu and ram overhead
Oh, it can run even more! Under one little condition - nobody uses them.
I have mine hooked up to my PS2 with a dead disc drive to serve ISOs over the Ethernet port. It hosts a samba share so I can just dump ISOs from any device on LAN.
Yes, it’s enough assuming all of that is for small-scale personal use.
Email is going to be an unreliable pain. If you like people receiving your emails, don’t self host email.
Almost anything. Mine has 1GB of ram and it can do vpn, nginx proxy and other stuff just fine. Use dietpi.
NEVER transcode. Do it as a background task offline. Even GPUs and desktop servers are best offline.
Sure it can, but it depends on what software you run and how much load you put on those services.
You can fit lots of stuff in 4gb of ram. Just pile on services till it starts running low.
Anything she puts her mind to!
I serve several TB of Video movies, TV and music around the house. Jellyfin rocks.
It can do at least three calculations per second.
