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 use a Synology DS220+ to run the full *arr suite, qBittorrent/PIA, Plex, Navidrome, AudioBookShelf, and various other apps - all as Docker containers. The NAS is a few years old now, but it still runs great. The current version of their two-bay Intel box is the DS224+. I added 4gb of additional RAM and two 8tb Ironwolf drives - all easey-peasey.
