Question: What are some alternatives to a Raspberry Pi good for a small home server? (lemmy.world)

Hi all,

I want to spin up a small home server. Nothing crazy, maybe 4 or 8GB ram at most. 1 Docker instance running a few privacy frontends (Invidious, Redlib, Xcancel, SearxNG, etc.) and split tunneling VPN connections for each one.

Obviously, a Raspberry Pi 4 or higher is the internet's favorite choice, but I don't need wireless connectivity, I just need a single HDMI and 2 USB ports to get everything set up, one ethernet port, and a dream in my heart.

Has anyone use alternatives like Le Potato or Orange Pi? I'm curious what their community support is like, and if there's a FOSS-friendly standard.

Thanks!

This was just posted to selfhosted, and does a great job showing what RPi is competing with.

It's a tool for seeing actual idle wattage draw for a lot of mini-PCs.

Many are in the single-digit idle power - the RPi claim to fame - but have a lot more capability than Pi, plus come in useful packages.

Just thought it would be a useful link for here.

Is that the right site or am I not seeing it? Your link points to this -

Same, this seems incorrect
