I heard varying things, I expect to have like 6-8 people come over in a few weeks and I want to set up lancache.net, but performance wise would it be horrible on a raspberrypi 4? or decent? I heard many things about lancache support on the raspberrypi, so I would like to hear about that too.
I do have a intelnuc as a secondary server but it would be harder to set up lancache on that, also I think I need to get a wifi card to set up a AP network, so would it make significant difference for a 16gb ram and modernish intel cpu to run it?
You would have to store the data on a USB 3 SSD to get usable performance. Don’t use WiFi, it will be way too slow. Even with gigabit ethernet, it will be slow with 8 people using it.
