I recently bought a domain from Porkbun (thanks to all of the comments on this post!) and I want to self-host some services myself. I currently have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and I'm not quite sure if it can handle these things:

  • A matrix homeserver
  • A lemmy instance
  • A website with static HTML pages
  • Privacy-respecting frontends (Piped, Redlib etc.)

I am thinking about getting a maxed-out Raspberry Pi 5 with a whole 8 Gigabytes of RAM. Is it worth it? I need a machine that is quiet, doesn't draw that much power and is overall pretty good for the money.

Edit: I bought this Mini PC instead of the Raspberry Pi 5. Thanks to all the comments!!

Logitech Media Server aka Squeezebox. It works mostly on plugins. The server runs on almost anything and connects to a client software on a pi in my bedroom and 3 Google Home Minis I have dotted around my house.

It's a work in progress at the moment. I have it connected to YouTube and Spotify but I'm working on pulling all the music off my old iPod I have in the car, sorting it from the mess Apple made of the files and putting them on my NAS.

Last night I was trying to get LMS to see that music. But alas I couldn't work out how to mount a Samba share to the container so today I'm gonna be trying FTP instead.

LMS is great but it takes a lot of tinkering to customise to what you want.
