Bro please. I understand you can host very small stuff on less powerful Pis. I used to host some stuff on a Raspberry Pi model b myself. Stop tooting your own horn. You couldn’t however host all the stuff I use or even most home labbers use on a Pi zero with modern software. I doubt it could run Jellyfin, an *arr stack, ollama, nextcloud, etc all at the same time. Probably you would also have to drop using containers which would be less secure and easy to deploy.
What’s the performance per watt of a Pi Zero anyway? I am sure it’s low power draw but I doubt it’s actually efficient.
See here’s the thing. Why would anyone want to host ALL the stuff on one pi? That is not what they were designed for. Ollama on a pi? Are you out of your mind? I’d run the biggest model I can on a modern gpu not some crappy old computer or pi…Right tool, right job. And why is dropping containers “less secure”? Do you mean “less cool”? Less easy to deploy? But you’re not deploying it, you’re installing it. You sound like a complete newb which is fine, but just take a step back from things and get some more experience. A pi is a tool for a purpose, not the end all. Using an old laptop is not going to save the world and arguing that it’s just better than a pi (or similar alternative) is just dumb. Use a laptop for all I care, I’m not the boss of you.
As for an arr stack, I’m really disappointed with the software and don’t use it and those who do have way too much time to set it up, and then make use of it!
I can self host what I want on a pi zero. But, I do have some 30 years of experience so can probably do things some won’t understand / bother with.
