Should I run Home Assistant on an Umbrel (Pi 5) that is already running Photo Prism (on Umbrel) or am I just going to encounter frustration due to trying to run too much on a single device?

Am I better off skipping Umbrel and installing all these services directly on their own devices?

I am working on getting umbrel running on a proxmox server that is running on a Lenovo tiny pc. I hate raspis. I can run everything on this tiny box and it will end up being more power efficient than many separate raspis, and much more powerful and upgradeable. With what raspis cost these days, it ends up being cheaper, too.

Which Lenovo model do you use?

I'm thinking about a Dell OptiPlex 3070 Micro with a i3 8100t, a 2TB SSD running Umbrel OS.

Actually my system is still running umbrel 0.5 with a 1TB SSD in a proxmox environment. There is not a lot ofspace left on that drive. 😟

There's only one way to really find out!

When I first got a Pi5, I installed and ran as many fractal generation programs possible, while playing music on VLC. It didn't stutter until the third or fourth fractal generation program launched.

That being said, if you can spare the funds, go with nostr:nprofile1qqsqdzwltpr635ehdzfd52tz947qlhq77x2c7j7yguwep9n258k2nuspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9thwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2a30qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9u4eqt7a suggested.
