Jellyfin music server. It needs about 1.2 GB of RAM for itself, plus the system.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My PI with podman jellyfin and flatnotes is sitting at 600 MB ram
Another idea: dokuwiki, to document your process setting up various service for future reference
Neat idea! If I were that orderly (I'm more of the mindset that what I don't remember probably wasn't important), I'd set up a normal website. I enjoy writing HTML by hand.
I run AdGuard Home, WireGuard and a couple of other things on my 4B, all in Docker.
I used to run HomeAssistant on our for a while, but they stopped supporting that architecture (armhf?). Also used to run Unbound on it.
HomeAssistant is still supported on Pi4b
It's support for the rpi3 that is getting fased out.
Odd, it must be the Docker image I'm using, then. Thanks for clarifying.

You can seed Anna's Archive, the largest public collection of texts:
https://annas-archive.org/torrents
Can also do the same for scihub or archive.org but I think only on an individual basis.
I was also thinking of running a Minecraft server on it. (Being able to play on the same world from different devices is kinda cool.)
The latest versions won't work. It has problems loading the chunks.
Source: Tried it myself
Thanks for the info. I won't even try then.
Kavita, Komga, or calibre-web? I love having a book and comics server.
I use my Pi 4B as a DVR for movies and OTA television (MythTV).
There are other tools that handle playback better (OSMC/Kodi, etc) but Myth's configuration and handling of recording schedules is incredibly powerful. Conflict management works well and it can record multiple streams off the same tuner so conflicts are reduced in the first place.
I've got Jellyfin running on an odroid, and it's pretty solid.
Not sure if you're the type to need access to your home network while away, but I also use a pi zero as my "login gateway"--I forward just port 22 to it from the WAN, and I have ssh set up to only allow logins with a key. I can set up dynamic port forwarding and tunnel through to my home network, and that pi zero has no other function (so even if I screw something else up on another server, I can still access my network).
You can run an (emulated) IBM mainframe on it!
irks me that it’s mostly idling
Well it's a small processor and relatively efficient one at that so... how about going the opposite direction? How about measuring the power draw on idle? With other task? I don't actually know if that architecture handles that but I saw some things on the do https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100095/0002/functional-description/power-management/dynamic-power-management?lang=en
Also what about using a RPi Zero instead?

Joplin notes. A really nice notetaking app you can selfhost. Simple enough but stil verry advanced.
Skimmed the title. Brain registered words "rpi" and "linux" underneath it. Instant reaction: "Not another app package format please". 😶🌫️
I should spend more time reading properly & less time being an old man yelling at tech.
