Is a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 enough? (feddit.it)

I'm quite a newbie to the self-hosted world, and I was wondering if a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 could be enough to start something and have "reasonable" performance.

I'm interested in exploring a self-hosted torrenting machine with a jellyfin server, a pi-hole instance and something like nextcloud for cloud drive and foto backup.

Is it worth trying, or it's better I just wait to get my hands on better hardware to begin with?

Edit: thank you for answering me, you confirmed my expectations!

For PiHole it will be OK, but for Nextcloud or Jellyfin is too slow. It is better to buy used MiniPC/Terminal - it will be more powerful
