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?

    I think not, because sonarr and radarr webUI is pretty slow on our machine, which definitely is not weak at all (we have server grade CPU and over 100gb of RAM. RAM is the biggest bottleneck for us right now, but we have to upgrade CPU in order to be able to handle more RAM.

      …your 100+ Gb RAM machine chokes on a couple of server applications that others run on commodity hardware? That sounds like a non-*arr issue.
