Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I’ve never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it’s bit of a stupid question.

    honestly it is good to start with and for controlling machines like an array of 3d printers but a dumpster dive laptop will be faster. RPI4 is quite old now.

    with that done:

    • jellyfin
    • smb server
    • syncthing
    • tftp with wake on lan / clonezilla to backup your other machines

      jellyfin

      How good is the performance of that on a rpi4? Does it work for transcoding videos?

        It doesn’t. Not well. And for larger files, even on cable connection without transcoding performance is god awful, sometimes it doesn’t play, or stutters or you get awful audio desyncs. Don’t do jellyfin on rpi

          it ever performs awfully slow on my secondary computer with i3 cpu.
