You can try a mini PC, you mentioned Germany so for example this https://amzn.eu/d/0Evab2M I think that should be a bit more powerful than a Pi, but not sure by how much.
By leaps and bounds
Not sure if that much, their CPU benchmark is pretty close.
It depends on the CPU however having an AMD64 type CPU means that you will have better performance
The question you should be asking is how much power will it draw
Is a Pentium powerful enough? I recently found a YouTube channel called "Wolfgang's Channel" and he also has a home server with a Pentium. He says it is plenty enough for these kind of tasks.
If that's not powerful enough a raspberry pi isn't either, that CPU ranks slightly higher than the one on a pi 5 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/5743vs2633/ARM-Cortex-A76-4-Core-2400-MHz-vs-Intel-Pentium-G4400T
Also I don't know how I forgot about this (since it's what I do a lot of the times), but you can buy from other Amazon's in Europe, for example in Spain you can get this CPU https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-6500T+%40+2.50GHz&id=2627 which is almost double the benchmark of a Pi for 127 https://amzn.eu/d/6UwsUqf
Those mini PCs are awesome, the only reason my home server isn't one of them is because I have a 3.5" HDD which doesn't fit in them, but I'm looking to switch to some other alternative because the franken-desktop I have now uses too much power for what it's doing.
