<p>Or pay a small amount more and use an odroid N2 (6 arm cores, 4 G
ram) and run the services via LXC. I have a dav server, an
asterisk PABX, internet facing web server, slave dns, email and a
radicale calendar server plus a buildhost all in lxc on a single
N2. Everything including asterisk runs well on a gentoo-sources
kernel and a re-purposed Gentoo aarch64 raspberry pi user-land
from my old pi 3B. An Odroid c4 will also work - note both of
these have USB3 if you want to run extra usb network adaptors.
The n2 is running a bridge for LXC to the VLAN segmented networks
while the C4 I have (odroid 4.14 kernel, gentoo aarch64 userland)
is using 2 bridged USB 3 WiFi adaptors to vlans all without
problems. A major performance boost (at least 3x over an SD card
in my tests) is had using the odroid eMMC storage, though the pi's
have a sata hat available - I have tried using usb storage and usb
networking together on both pies and odroids and its a serious
no-no :) - corruption and really bad performance when busy). The
standard odroid OS is ubuntu and it can apparently also use
raspian.<br>
</p>
<p>Any pi less than a 4 will suffer from poor network performance
(it all goes through an internal, under-powered USB2 hub), though
I have used pi 1B's for all the above services in the past. Going
on my experience, a pi less than a 4 will do ok for a not very
busy home server but wont do well for routing and a pi 4 should be
better at networking whereas the more powerful odroid units will
do it better, perhaps to small enterprise level with the right
storage. see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-c4/">https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-c4/</a> (the page
for the older n2 i have uses a pi3 for the comparison, the newer
N2+ is here
