Is it capable of hosting XMPP, IRC, Email and a simple website altogether?
i run homeassistant, pihole, 2 projects of mine using NodeJS, nextcloud, a very simple static website and Nginx for some DNS customization like pointing nc.home to a specific port. My pi is a 4GB one and for now the used RAM is not even 1 GB. I run debian with no graphical interface
How long is a piece of string?
Slaps board of Pi this bad boy can fit so much fucking dust in it.
Username checks out.
Yes.
Xmpp, irc, email and websites are all pretty small in terms of resource usage. Where you’ll have problems are with heavy compute workloads like 3d rendering, AI, 3d gaming (sorry, no crysis), and crypto mining. They all can be done on a rpi but not done well.
I serve several TB of Video movies, TV and music around the house. Jellyfin rocks.
It can do at least three calculations per second.
That he can do, indeed. Maybe even some pornhub too 😁
I love this distro
Since I tried zimaboard I would never go back to RPI, personal preference I know but I love it.
There are a lot of factors that go into whether a big server like Google will accept your email, it’s so much work that it isn’t worth it unless you really have to. Just “self host” on proton mail or something
To be fair I my 8vcpu vm struggles with transcoding, so I wouldn’t hold that against the pi. I got a little beelink box for jellyfin and it transcodes no issue with quicksync
Pi 5 is out very soon.
And even if they can get around the port 25 block Gmail and other large email providers often block any emails coming in from a residential IP.
Is capable of seven
Ok here it goes…
Many on this sub will start an echo chamber. They will tell you how you should never host e-mail. Never! And how this plan, and that host, is so much cheaper. It’s not worth the headache. Oh the headaches. Bla bla bla. They think because they don’t want to do it, no one else should.
If you want to learn how to host your own e-mail. Do it! Just don’t plan on using that e-mail for anything mission critical. At least not in the beginning.
Oh and your Pi4 is more than enough to do what you are trying to.
