I’m quite a newbie to the self-hosted world, and I was wondering if a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 could be enough to start something and have “reasonable” performance.
I’m interested in exploring a self-hosted torrenting machine with a jellyfin server, a pi-hole instance and something like nextcloud for cloud drive and foto backup.
Is it worth trying, or it’s better I just wait to get my hands on better hardware to begin with?
Edit: thank you for answering me, you confirmed my expectations!
All true. And RPIs aren’t even cheap anymore. It’s much more cost effective to buy a refurbished lease PC and get the extra processing power, expandability & reliable storage. I run everything on a HP elitedesk and it didn’t cost much over £150.
