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?

This, was about to do this myself. ~$60-80 for a lenovo m720q on eBay with 256gb SSD, 8gb ram, 8th gen Intel i3 8100t or if you are lucky i5-8400t. Why would get anything else?
