Can you run multiple servers on one machine (e.g. Raspberry Pi)? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm thinking about buying a Raspberry Pi to start my self-hosted journey. I have three usecases in mind: Navidrome server, Jellyfin server and a Pi-hole network ad-blocking. Can a single machine (like a Raspberry Pi) run these operations simultaneously? Thanks in advance!

I would skip Jellyfin on the pi. Other than that, it's all good.

    I always see people saying the Pi is poor for Jellyfin, but I’m running it on a 5 4GB (alongside a fair few other Docker images) and haven’t encountered any really issues. I’m only streaming 1080p and never see any stuttering or bad transcoding.

    That said, I do intend to go with a SFF PC in the future as I’ve pretty quickly hit the point where it’d be better, so OP I would skip the Pi as well.

    Let me be a bit more specific. If you are doing a couple of light services + jellyfin, maybe you can pull it off. But if you have some critical latency sensitive applications + jellyfin, it can cause issues at random times.

    Also, if you are ONLY hosting Jellyfin with no *arr stack, you should be fine. I made that mistake and my Pi went down to a crawl.

    Test your services together, and based on that decide on the subset of services.
