Hey! I’m trying to get into self hosting and was wondering what would be possible with a single Pi, at least until I can get more capable hardware.
The servies I’m interested in would be things like a pihole, music server, photos server, a few personal fediverse instances (mainly owncast), a small Matrix homeserver for my friends, etc, etc. Media server but that’s obviously way into the future I think.
While I don’t intend or think I can run all of this on one Pi, I just want to know how much is possible. I’m really thankful for any feedback I may get. My apologies for the noobness if I’m completely wrong about all of this.
One last thing, any recommendations on any other services I should try out as a beginner?
Edit: In hindsight, I really do I wish I asked about the ability of sharing these services with people and how that would affect the load and performance. One of my biggest goals is to have this used by family and close friends.
Intuitively, I think that the most difficult thing to host may be the owncast. Video is a pretty taxing. One nice thing is that Raspberry Pi 4s have video codec support built-in which may help.
For Matrix, I recommend looking at Matrix Conduit, it’s great for low power systems. I’ve got it running with like 3 other services on an Intel Atom D2550 which according to my quick search is about half as fast as a Pi 4.
I’d definitely recommend looking at nextcloud, it is great for a variety of tasks including music and photos.
