Hardware recommendations for *arr suite (alien.top)

Hey folks,

I have Sony A80j at home, which is 4K OLED AndroidTV. So picture and audio is quite good, supporting Dolby Atmos and Vision.

I want to setup *arr suite, for single home. I believe my TV doesn’t require transcoding as it can easily play 100GB video.

I have raspberry pi 3b+ 2GB RAM, but I think it is not up to the task. Also, I do not have any storage solution.

Can you suggest hardware to run such server? I’m more interested in running at docker. Curious maybe I should just get RPI 4 with externally powered HDD?

I have a MINISFORUM NPB5 Mini PC with 32GB DDR5 and an Intel Core i5-13500H which hosts all of my *arr docker containers + plex Media server (and a few other stuff). You can get one for less than 500$. I also have a NAS with a bunch of HDDs that gives me a ton of storage space. If you must know, its a Terramaster F5-422 and tbh I wouldn't recommend it.
