I’m quite a newbie to the self-hosted world, and I was wondering if a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 could be enough to start something and have “reasonable” performance.

I’m interested in exploring a self-hosted torrenting machine with a jellyfin server, a pi-hole instance and something like nextcloud for cloud drive and foto backup.

Is it worth trying, or it’s better I just wait to get my hands on better hardware to begin with?

Edit: thank you for answering me, you confirmed my expectations!

    From a pure performance standpoint a pi zero is good enough to start and learn the basics. Nextcloud and pihole should be working just fine. Regarding Jellyfin depends on what your usecase is.

    In any case, I would suggest to start and see for yourself. The you can as you go.

    E: To boil it down: Pihole - enough, Nextcloud - very simple file handling, jellyfin - streaming music yes, videos not much

      Next cloud is unusuably slow on my Raspi 3b, there’s no way it’d work on a zero
