I want to set up an Electrum server for my desktop and mobile Electrum wallets. If I can offer it over Tor to strangers like a do with Core that's a nice donation to the network. A lot of Electrum servers must be honeypots so it would be great if more trustworthy servers existed.

The question is if I have the hardware run ElectrumX? I have a Pi 4 with 8GB of RAM, do you think this is sufficient hardware to run Electrumx? I doubt I'll get a lot of incoming connections since I'll only be offering it as a hidden service.

Edit: Esplore seems to require 100s of GB of data so that's a no, since my SSD is 1TB and half full already.

If you can make the full node run somewhere else then all electrum server choices don't require a lot of resources to run.

So if you have a bitcoin core instance already running like on your personal desktop, you can expose ports on your router and then run the electrum server standalone (assuming you want to run them on different machines, instead of also on the personal desktop) then give the server the ip address and port of Bitcoin Core.
