Would a Raspberry Pi Zero be good for Radarr and Sonarr? (lemmy.ml)

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?

A Zero would probably be way underpowered for the job. I've used a Pi 4 in the past and it worked ok, but choked occasionally.

My actual recommendation would be a small x86 box, something like a Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny. You can get them used for about the price of a Pi, and they'll be much more reliable.
