Greetings, so I final got wife permission to buy a pi zero 2 and a beeline 12s pro (n100) arriving tomorrow. I already have a nas drive for my media.
Question is what is the average setup and guides for this?
Of course I will be scouring this and other communities for info but the immediate items I want to fix are my plex/jellyfin server, setup RetroArch or equivalent gaming, then of course arr servers. But I would like to also get into reverse proxy and searxng, next cloud and pihole.
Any tips on how to make this beautiful?
OS recommendations? I currently run manjaro on my daily, but would think a kubuntu or kde fedora/debian spin might be better for these items.
Guides you can point me to? Suggestions for more or better options? There are plenty of answers in this community and I will look at what’s posted but any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
I’m excited to start plying with the simple things
The Beeline is definitely powerful enough to run a hypervisor, so I would do that if I were you. Proxmox is a very good product and easy enough to use. Personally I use Harvester (with Rancher) but that might be a bit daunting if you’ve not used Kubernetes before.
I would recommend running Proxmox as your OS, spin up a few Debian virtual machines and run your services (Nextcloud, plex/jellyfin, …) with Docker containers. I would personally use Podman, as I think it’s the simpler one to use, but there might be more documentation online for Docker, I’m not sure. But do definitely use containers! You’ll thank yourself in 6 months.
