Comment on Self-hosting matrix server on Raspberry Pi 4 next to Navidrome and Jellyfin

Don’t be stressing the pi out to much, maybe look into investing in more than 1 pi! I personally have had Jellyfin running on a pi 4, a pi 5, but it is currently running on a 2014 Mac mini (with Debian installed).
I have 3 pi 5’s, one pi 4, and a pi 0 2, an old Mac mini running in my LAN, and a VPS running my simple blog and encrypted backups. Shuffling things around is a thing you do as your homelab and services expand.
This hobby becomes an adventure.
Thanks for the advice! That is some impressive setup! Yes I am sure my setup as well will grow more and more over time. It is an exciting, though challenging (at least for me) but for sure rewarding journey I’ve started.
I have another Raspberry Pi 4 4GB I lent out to someone who is now not using it anymore. I could get that Pi back and run the Matrix server on there.
If I may ask for your opinion: I am also considering to get Pihole up and running for a while.
What do you think, would it be feasible to get Pihole running on the Pi 4 8GB that’s already running Jellyfin and Navidrome?
The Matrix server with the Whatsapp bridge would then run on the seperate Pi 4 4GB.

Pihole is runs on pi zero’s I am sure you would not have any problemswith running it on your pi 4’s. I have my primary pihole instance running on a pi 5 with a bunch of other things, my secondary pihole instance is running on another pi 5 that used to run ghost which hosts my webpage.
I would say put pihole on both, also put unbound onto whatever one you decide is your main pihole. If you are going to get pihole and setup Matrix with the Whatsapp bridge may I suggest you get a firewall as well, something that you can flash OpenWRT onto. I have a Flint 2 that I have multiple vLANs setup on for security, but also a VPN so that I can have the benefit of all my services away from home. It is something that I wish I had setup a lot sooner.
Of course you will need a static IP address for this, for me my ISP gives them out for free but I understand that it is expensive elsewhere. I do however hear there are apps that emulate static IP’s for things like wireguard to use.
