It's relatively straight forward, though you might want to consider other options, with the elevated rpi pricing once you add a case, memory, power supply etc a lot of the micro intel devices are pretty close to that including those things.  Also, getting DOS doors on ARM isn't the easiest thing, you'll have to configure QEMU and if you want multi user doors, then you'll need some makeshift networking config in there.

If you don't need/want DOS doors, or are okay using something like doorparty, then it's definitely doable.  Might also be worth considering a $5-15/month VPS too, since that will run on an unfettered internet connection, assuming your home internet service blocks various ports.
