I am currently looking for Thin Clients on ebay to use as my main server instead of the RPi 4 with an external USB drive.

I found decent offers for:

  • Dell Optiplex 3020M with i5-4590T 4GB RAM 120GB SSD
  • Dell Wyse 5070 with Celeron J4105 or Pentium Silver J5005 both with 8GB RAM 64GB SSD

Given the current prices of new hardware my questions are:

  • Should I go for 8GB RAM?
  • Or are 4GB RAM fine and I should take double the storage?

Things I want to run on this server:

  • Karakeep
  • FreshRSS
  • Paperless-NGX or Papra
  • Immich
  • Booklore

Because I plan to mostly use podman I tried to check for virtualization and all three suppoert Intels VT-x technolgy, will that be fine for my use case?

    Advanced Vector Extensions instruction set; introduced with Sandy Bridge in 2011, but not included in Pentium/Celeron branded processors even after then for reasons best known only to Intel.

    Mongo is the application that has most irritated me by requiring it, but I doubt it’s the only one.
