I ran lots of containers on a Pi 4 but recently purchased two cheap Chinese mini PC's with 16GB RAM and an SSD. They're so much faster and only a bit dearer than a Pi. I run Proxmox on both.
Absolutely nothing wrong with the Pi though. The Pi 4 lives on with a USB drive attached. I have NFS configured on it to backup my Proxmox VMs to it. It also hosts all the media for Jellyfin.
If you think about it, the kubernetes nodes often are only raspberry pis specwise. 2-4 cores, 8-16gb of ram
An n100 PC is much better than that crapberry pi
N100 is two years old now. If you're going to suggest a mini PC, at least suggest one with a current gen CPU.
I was thinking more about a motherboard with that cpu, but we can go with the n150 then
I am seeing N100 mini PCs for a lot less than N150s though
I bought a decade old Z840 and it's great for VMs, Plex, Arr stack, and a few other services but it is so overkill with 2 GPUs. I think what I should've done was buy a couple of used desktops or laptops to expand the my homelab as I needed.
Unraid FTW.
Raspberry Pis are way overhyped and overpriced.
Also this is totally wrong. Once you start it just keeps growing unless there is some other factor.
Yes, you can optimize a lot. Especially with Linux. I did the same and even started to replace program that did too much, bloated, with my own programs. To speed up the development I did it with AI and Cursor.
