The specs are: AMD Embedded G-Series GX-420GI Radeon R7E 2,0GHz 8GB RAM 32 GB M.2 Flash memory
Apparently no support for NVMe so I’d need to buy a new SATA SSD. It’s not a powerhouse but I thought it seemed like a good deal, even though it might be a bit dated. What are your thoughts? Would I be able to run a few stuff like Tailscale, piHole, irssi, nginx, Jellyfin (w/o transcoding), some other small docker containers on it?
definetly a better deal than buying a Raspberry PI, though it will consume more power.
I have a RPI running pihole and nginx for reverse proxying. It does the job pretty well, so I guess your Thin Client will run a similar stack as well.
For more demanding apps like jellyfin you‘d need to get a more powerful hardware depending on the media streamed, the count of simultaneous streams and if you want to youse hardware de-/encoding. Plus 8GB Ram would be a bit short if you plan to run more than the 3 apps I mentioned.
You can get older, small formfactor PCs for about 80 - 100$ depending on your hardware needs.
