Hi folks. Currently thinking of buying a new SBC since my Odroid HC4 died i am looking to buy a new sbc as my home Server. I would be mainly running portainer with the following apps:

  • pihole
  • wallabag
  • conduit
  • revolt ( optional)
  • grocy (optional have to try first )
  • wireguard

The orange pi 5 with 8gb RAM seemed like a good choice, but the 4 or even 3B models are even a bit cheaper. What do you guys think. Should I go for a prior gen or even a different SBC entirely?

    Yup, I agree. But those aren’t any of OP’s requirements so not sure where you are going with this?

    Also, ~5watt difference again not sure where you are going with this. x86 supports more OS and ram can also be increased if needed. In OP’s requirements the winner is clear.
