Bought my first raspberry pi 5, gb ram version. Gonna be using it to run a jellyfin server and maybe a foundry server if it can handle both concurrently. Anyone familiar enough to know if running multiple things on one of these is wise?

Running multiple things in one host is perfectly fine. The more you have, the more complicated dependencies will become. Tool A needing PHP < 8 and tool B needing PHP 9 can be handled but is a headache.
That’s why many people are using containers, specifically Docker. Each tool brings their own dependencies that are running isolated. Not sharing dependencies is more resource intensive but easier to handle.
I’m not running the tools you mentioned but probably they list their resources requirements. I suggest you to check containers/Docker and consider using them instead of installing the tools natively.

Ah, docker is a name I’d heard hanging around the lemmy space. I looked into it a little and couldn’t figure out what its usecase was, but that makes a fair bit of sense, thanks
