I’m looking at various single board computers ( think raspberry pi) to host a server on. Namely for hosting media, an email, and perhaps a web site/fediverse instance/blog/forum on.
I’m under an assumption that a SBC and some hard drives could handle this on the hardware side. Am I totally off the mark? And what kind of os and other soft wear should I consider using?
An Orange Pi 5 Plus would work well for a small web server and some storage.
It’s got an 8 core CPU, 16GB of RAM, dual 2.5G ethernet, an M.2 slot for an NVMe SSD, and 2 USB 3 ports.
