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?

I know that the orange pi 5 is one of the quickest arm processors out there, but it will not compare to x86, and if you grab ryzen 3 or 11th gen intel or newer, they are way more power efficient than older used business/enterprise hardware. Arm has no virtualization, which you WILL get into as you grow. Running one, two, maybe three of those services should be fine, but more than that and I feel like you will probably start running into performance issues on the pi. If you find one for a deal, go for it, I found I out grew my arm sbc pretty quick but would be an amazing and cheap place to learn.
