I’m wanting to set up my external Seagate drive with all my media on it to run a jellyfin server but I’m not sure which device to use. I’m thinking a raspberry pi but I’m not sure which one. From what I can tell from running the server on my laptop it is fairly CPU intensive for lower end systems

Edit: so general consensus seems to be, don’t use a pi, it’s not powerful enough

      That’s the exact one I upgraded to two weeks ago. Runs jelly, sonarr, radarr, bazaar, sabnzbget and overseerr with a 24tb lvm raid on USB. Barely touches the amount of RAM installed and live transcodes two 1080p movies simultaneously.

      Yea, I think there was one from MSI too and a dozen other manufacturers on Amazon, eBay and AliExpress.

        My beelink one is pretty OK. It gets a bit pissy when I try to debloat win11, but I haven’t bothered installing Linux on it yet.

        I did modify it to install a good wifi antenna, though. Was pretty easy and only cost $10.
