1 year agoI suppose it depends. An 4/8gb RPi 4 may be able to handle a smalll instance, keeping in mind that a 2 core/4gb VPS has sufficed for most instances until the recent influx. My concern with using one would be primarily with storage capacity and speeds, but iirc, there’s a SATA hat you can get to connect drives directly (as opposed to external USB storage).
I think your options are mainly virtualization or something like this
Virtualization is definitely easiest though; there’s a transmission docker image out there that’s preconfigured for a ton of VPN providers, including mullvad. It can be touchy to get working but is amazing when it does work.
