Hi folks. Currently thinking of buying a new SBC since my Odroid HC4 died i am looking to buy a new sbc as my home Server. I would be mainly running portainer with the following apps:

  • pihole
  • wallabag
  • conduit
  • revolt ( optional)
  • grocy (optional have to try first )
  • wireguard

The orange pi 5 with 8gb RAM seemed like a good choice, but the 4 or even 3B models are even a bit cheaper. What do you guys think. Should I go for a prior gen or even a different SBC entirely?

not really wireguard hits ARM CPU’s hard. you can also get n95/n100 mini PC’s as well for around the price of a Orange Pi 5 and use Intel’s awesome encoder for jellyfin.
