Does anyone run one of the above on a Pi 4 and can share their experience how good or bad they run?

If course, transcoding won’t be any good and OCR probably cannot run in parallel, but aside from that - is it okay?

Currently running everything on a mini ITX with a i5-6600 which handles this easily for my small use cases, but also draws 20-30W idling most of the day… I’m eyeing a Pi 4b with 8gb RAM but don’t want to spend the money and then realizing that it doesn’t run smooth enough

    it did not work well enough to be usable.

    Was it the overall performance or the OCR specifically?

    I have run paperless some time on a pi 3b without OCR (manually doing it on a PC or when scanning with Apps like MakeACopy) and it was okay-ish. Not a lot documents though.

    And I thought it was mainly the 1GB RAM limiting (starting Paperless started swapping right away…)
