The Intel compute stick seems ideal for running Batocera or Lakka
other than that I’m not really sure how you’d use it as a server other than a learning experience. what all do you use the raspberry pi 4 to host? I know you can run a bunch of stuff on a pi, but I wouldn’t think about running my docker stack one even though I know you can. the same goes for the compute stick, you’re not going to want to run something heavy. does the does compute stick even function headless? that would be the first thing I’d check if you’re want to use it as some sort of server.
Thanks for the links! Those both look interesting. My current home server setup is a Raspberry Pi 4 (64-bit, 8GB RAM) and an external hard drive connected via USB-SATA. It runs "Umbrel OS", which is just Ubuntu with a fancy frontend to manage docker containers. It honestly works great. I'm currently hosting NextCloud, FreshRSS, Jellyfin, Gitea, Immich, Vaultwarden, etc...
how does Jellyfin run for you on the Pi? I’m assuming you’re pretty much the only one using it? if not how many streams can you transcode at once? how is the network overhead and disk usage when accessing Gitea, Immich, NextCloud, and Jellyfin all at once?
I haven't experienced any issues so far! The RPi 4 seems to be a relatively powerful device.
Hey, for what it's worth I ran Jellyfin on an Intel Celeron N3350 stick PC for a few years and just recently upgraded to a Celeron N100 mini-pc. The fanless stick worked great. With hardware transcoding it was a lot more powerful than the Pi.
Great to know. Thanks!
Transcoding is basically a no no on the Pi. Without transcoding though it can happily do multiple streams. I've had three or four at once with no issues.
