Can a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM handle my needs? (lemmy.zip)

I recently bought a domain from Porkbun (thanks to all of the comments on this post!) and I want to self-host some services myself. I currently have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and I'm not quite sure if it can handle these things:

  • A matrix homeserver
  • A lemmy instance
  • A website with static HTML pages
  • Privacy-respecting frontends (Piped, Redlib etc.)

I am thinking about getting a maxed-out Raspberry Pi 5 with a whole 8 Gigabytes of RAM. Is it worth it? I need a machine that is quiet, doesn't draw that much power and is overall pretty good for the money.

Edit: I bought this Mini PC instead of the Raspberry Pi 5. Thanks to all the comments!!

Why not get an Intel N100? It’s about the same price and much better performance. Raspberry Pis is kind of overpriced these days.

I've never heard of Intel N100 before, what's that? Just so you know, a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 Gigabytes of RAM costs ~90€ in my country (Germany). I wouldn't really count that as overpriced. Could you show me some machine examples with Intel N100?

I think he meant something like these mainboards (german comparison portal). These mainboards contain the CPU.

However, you also need memory, a case, storage and a power supply, which brings you closer to 200€.

They essentially mean something like https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIX2dNj

The price is comparable to a Raspberry Pi

True, they are much cheaper on aliexpress than on our local suppliers.
