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.
Fair bit (on a nanopi m4, pi has better ram and ends up being faster than the m4). I ran a matrix server (and a bunch of bridges) and syncthing on it with 4 drives. It wasn’t fast. But it worked. You could consider horizontal scaling for these services by adding more Pis. You can simplify (resource wise) the Pihole by setting up dnsmasq and have the servers it look up be ones that follow the adblock lists you want.
