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.

    One of these will cost you about $50 - $70. Load it up with 32GB of ram and you’re running something more powerful and cheaper than a Pi.

    That’s my set up and have over 20 containers running.

      Did you intend for there to be a link to something? I don’t see what’s you’re talking about using.

        Not him, but I bet he’s talking about a dell optiplex. You can get them for cheap right now.
