Not sure if I'm CPU-bound or RAM-bound, but I'd hazard to guess both lol And the lower the power consumption the better as this is an always-on, very passive deal.
Personally, I only plan to run another dozen or so containers. What I want most is reliability/stability. I want everything I set up to, once it works, continue working without issue. This is where the Pi has begun frustrating me as it seems to just seize up sometimes. I do need as much storage as possible as I'm a bit of a media hoarder, but that can always be solved with more drives.
Yeah I have been and am super excited to get into it once I upgrade my homeserver, but my issue is the hardware devices. The ease of speaking into the void to set timers and get news, the intuitive Ring camera that automatically sends push notifications on movement detection. Idk how to replace these.
Tbh I'm not sure out of the box. But I'd like to avoid Amazon as much as possible and I have to assume tinkering around and disabling telemetry and using a VPN etc. will be easier on the Shield.
I also want to prioritize power consumption just because I can't afford server rack levels of electricity, so I will have to check that out.
