That should be fine. I'm running e.g. nextcloud/openVPN/tvheadend/syncthing/nginx/mariadb (several)/nfs/samba/aria2... and more mainly in docker containers.

One java application I had to move to my spare rockpro64, since it is a bit sensible when it comes to memory or timing issues..

I guess you are talking about a Home/small office server!

I'm not even using it as heavily as you.  I have OMV with Emby, but I think I'll be moving over to Plex.  It's just a NAS, right now.  I have an Intel NUC running as my HTPC (wife doesn't want to adapt to Linux), so the load on the RP64 is pretty light.  

Seeing your list, I can definitely add OpenVPN and Pi Hole to it, with no issues to performance.  I feel better about adding more uses to this board.  I'll definitely enjoy putting my whole network on a VPN instead of just a device here and there when I'm downloading.

How easy was it to get Docker working on your OMV?  Thank you much for your response!
