So I recently set up a home media server and was planning on setting up remote access using Tailscale which doesn’t work very well with VPN’s from what I have read.

I don’t want to download things exposing my IP address so was thinking about picking up a Raspberry PI and running Radarr & Sonarr, then setting the PI to auto transfer to my server every 24 hours with any new files.

I’ve never used a Raspberry Pi before so wasn’t sure if the Zero would be powerful enough to do this. It’d literally just be used to connect to a VPN, Download and transfer files on my network.

Would the Pi Zero be suitable or is there a better Pi for this use case?

    I don’t believe a Raspberry Pi Zero with 512MB could do the work but you can go for a Orange Pi Zero 3 for almost the same price but with 1GB of RAM which I believe it’s enough for your plan. But I would recommend going for the 2GB version at least.

    Pray&Luck 🙏🤞.
