I was gifted a new Raspberry Pi. I already have a previous pihole setup and now looking for other ideas to run on my network.

I was considering a network monitoring tool. Any other suggestions?

    For some of us it’s a financial issue. I already own a Raspi 4, but don’t have money lying around to get a decent mini server (e.g. acceptable performance paired with low power consumption and no fan noise).

    I still manage to run a few Docker containers on top of OMV, but need to be mindful of the load:

    • Jellyfin (no transcoding)
    • Immich (workers set to minimum)
    • Backrest (restic frontend)
    • Duplicati (phasing out)
    • Heimdall
    • changedetection.io
    • Tailscale sidecar containers

    But yes, when running a bigger backup job, I pause Immich indexing or shut down Jellyfin, just in case

      For the price of as rpi you can nearly get a decent N100 mini computer with 4x2.5ports on Alliexpress. Way more capable and runs on x86-64 architecture.

      And there’s also room for expension (adding more ram, space)
