My main server is a HP Microserver gen 8 with a passively cooled Xeon (don’t remember which atm), 16GB of RAM. By computer standards it’s pretty old. (That generation was made from 2013 to 2015, iirc). I still tried the AIO docker container installed on Unraid. Beyond the difficulties with initial setup, it ran really poorly. Navigation through the Web app was sluggish. I also noticed that it took quite a bit of the available system resources, more than I had to spare with the other apps I was running.
So once I heard about the Pi build, I had to try. I had the Pi4 collecting dust anyway. And so far, it runs better. I found the setup wizard to be easier as well.
Note: I’m still new in my selfhosting journey. About a year now.

Seems like the Pi version is the way to go then. If your Pi 4 was having issues, my Pi 5 definitely will
