I have tinkered with RPI a lot in my previous life, I used to maintain the Qt eglfs QPA plugin. Back then, they were quite under powered CPU wise. Are the recent versions powerful enough to host websites and data for every day use? Like say, is it powerful to host a website, couple of blogs, a nextcloud/syncthing instance and say Emby/Jellyfin/Plex? Most importantly, I want to hear about setups that people are using for every day use and not just learning.

(For context, we get a lot of requests to port Cloudron to ARM/RPI but I am still not sure if these are just hobbyists/tinkerers or something people use everyday.)



Using Emby actively right now and it’s working like a charm! Nextcloud will probably be my next experiment


Does hardware transcoding work?


wouldn't know. installed it through a .deb file, so it's certainly better suited to use the hardware than through docker probably
