I had a pi4 8GB with a 240Gb M.2 SSD as a back up for a pi3B+ that I had set
up
to run the Elist system with the idea of making it available to some one a lot
younger than me but had no takers.
The pi4 had a the Elist s/w on it with a copy of the data transferred via
rsync
as an when I had it turned on but as it was never used I reloaded the latest
version of ubuntu on it and sold it on eBay last month.
Will consider doing the same for the Pi3 which is in a Geekgo? metal casing
with a 1 TB HDD and a laptop power adaptor to handle extra power needs.
Checked it yesterday and did a ubuntu update as it had not been on for 6+
months so took a while but nowhere near as long as a Windows update on my main
server and the one done a week + ago took 5 - 6 hours. Now it is on a WD Red
HDD which not quick but 5+ hours is just silly although all updates in the
past
are still over 2 hours. This has nothing to do with my download speed :(
Basically I am saying that the Pi4 (assuming it is a 8 Gb one or similar is
more than able to do the job assuming you are running a Ubuntu LTS X64 distro.
The 64bit over the 32 one is not really a lot but more and more s/w only comes
as 64 these days so it cuts down on hassles but with a speed improvement in
some areas. Depends on the secondary services that are also running.
They do not cope too well (at a guess) with many calls at the same time and
with human users logging in to the BBS at the same time but a bbs user is not
exactly stretching the resource of a system that much - multi mailer system
calls just might.
