Would an Orange Pi 5 be enough for my selfhosting? (sopuli.xyz)

I have my eye on the Orange Pi 5 8GB as my first SBC to selfhost with. These would be the roles for the SBC:

  • Jellyfin with 4K
  • Some *arr services
  • Host own domain site
  • Pi-Hole
  • Google Photos alternative?
  • Probably more I guess
  • Be low-power consuming

What's your take on this? Is 8GB enough?

Will this be your first server? If so, start small. It's inevitable you will want to upgrade something when you have your build almost complete.

Yeah this will be my first, but I'm happy if this would be an overkill.

Overkill and low power consuption are opposites. There is a lot of community support for pi builds so I would start there.
