Hi folks. Currently thinking of buying a new SBC since my Odroid HC4 died i am looking to buy a new sbc as my home Server. I would be mainly running portainer with the following apps:

• pihole
• wallabag
• conduit
• revolt ( optional)
• grocy (optional have to try first )
• wireguard

The orange pi 5 with 8gb RAM seemed like a good choice, but the 4 or even 3B models are even a bit cheaper. What do you guys think. Should I go for a prior gen or even a different SBC entirely?

Currently looking for a router with the following points

• sfp ports for fiber connection (we have fiber internet)
• should be possible to use a wireguard on the router, since would like to use for our smart tv.
• would like to run some small containers (pihole and maybe some network scanner)

The R3 looks pretty cool specially, since WiFi is built in and there are deals with case and antennas. I don't know of 2gb of RAM would be sufficient to run openwrt + some containers.

The New R4 will have double the RAM, but at least on first glance it looks, like a WiFi extension has to be bought. Also I guess it will me more expensive.

What do you folks think? Should I wait for the R4 or buy one of those package deals including antennas and metal?

Bonus Question: what sfp modules do you use for fiber connection?
