Old Thin Clients - Which CPU is fine? (sopuli.xyz)

I am currently looking for Thin Clients on ebay to use as my main server instead of the RPi 4 with an external USB drive.

I found decent offers for:

Dell Optiplex 3020M with i5-4590T 4GB RAM 120GB SSD
Dell Wyse 5070 with Celeron J4105 or Pentium Silver J5005 both with 8GB RAM 64GB SSD

Given the current prices of new hardware my questions are:

Should I go for 8GB RAM?
Or are 4GB RAM fine and I should take double the storage?

Things I want to run on this server:

Karakeep
FreshRSS
Paperless-NGX or Papra
Immich
Booklore

Because I plan to mostly use podman I tried to check for virtualization and all three suppoert Intels VT-x technolgy, will that be fine for my use case?

I don’t know what up with your Immich instance but this seems like a lot of RAM usage for me. I have 45 docker containers, including Immich, running on a 10 yo NUC with 8 GB of RAM and that’s not an issue… I use 4,7 GB total in this instant.
