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

    I use a raspberry pi 4 with 3 simultaneous sessions sometimes. Direct play, it works fine. It can’t transcode at all, though.

      I second that. I did reinstall it recently though, the whole system, and switched to docker for Jellyin. I noticed a few new movies are transcoding now and for one stream it is actually bearable. But I have no idea why it didn’t work on my first install and why it is working now.
