I’m thinking about buying a Raspberry Pi to start my self-hosted journey. I have three usecases in mind: Navidrome server, Jellyfin server and a Pi-hole network ad-blocking. Can a single machine (like a Raspberry Pi) run these operations simultaneously? Thanks in advance!

    As other commenters have said yes you can run these depending on the Pi. Do note however if you need transcoding, A Pi is not recommended by jellyfin:

    https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-selection#potentially-problematic-hardware

    Most Single Board Computers (SBC): Most SBCs (including the Raspberry Pi, especially the Raspberry Pi 5) are too slow to provide an acceptable Jellyfin experience as they often lack proper support for hardware acceleration. If you really want to run Jellyfin on an SBC, you may wish to consider models based on the following platforms: Rockchip RK3588 / RK3588S, Intel Core, Intel 12th gen N series

      What is good enough fr transcoding? I have plex for travel, I want to move to jellyfin and get an arr stack all on one system. Looking at a 9th gen i5 thinkcentre with 16gb ram

        Official Recommendations for low power: Intel 12th gen or above N series platforms Apple M Series Mac mini Rockchip RK3588 / RK3588S SBC (Advanced Users Only)

        Note 10th gen and older integrated graphics are losing support in Linux due to Intel dropping SDK support or something. Don’t buy a nuc or small PC with Intel 10 or older but if you have one it’s fine for now.

        Another option would be an old laptop with dedicated graphics (e.g. e waste/recyclers). then you can get away with older than 10gen Intel since you’d be using the external graphics. Just research how to limit battery charging in the bios since it’s always going to be plugged in.
