My Plex server is nothing more than a Raspberry Pi tied to a SSD.

[-] JFowler369@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I'd love to get mine all on SSDs but 80tb of SSDs gets pretty expensive

[-] EyesEyesBaby@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

With that much data I'd go for standard hard disks too. Probably gets the job done just as well.

I just am getting started. My plex server is very aging gaming PC running while i game lol.

[-] BlovedMadman@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

That's how I started, when I upgraded my PC my old PC became a dedicated Plex server running Linux, then the CPU gave up after 8 years (3 years as a 24/7 sever) then bought a PC to run unraid. Its a slippery slope, I started on 16tb of media 6 months ago, I'm now on 24tb...

Mine is a NUC running Jellyfin tied to a HDD via USB

[-] s3rvant@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

+1 for Jellyfin!

I have refurbished off-lease PC running Jellyfin which we connect directly to our TV for easy access to various streaming services as well

[-] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Gah I want to switch to Jellyfin but there is no PS5 app.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

My way is just a chromecast.
Sadly thats currently the only solution by adding yet another device but for 40/60€ it's not very expensive. I would give it a try

I had to upgrade from that once it started struggling more and more with higher definition content. I ended up upgrading my desktop and using the old parts to build a server machine. The only things I had to buy was a PC case and some hard drives.

Care to share the “how to” with a budding enthusiast who received a RPI4 yesterday?

[-] EyesEyesBaby@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

pimylifeup.com taught me everything

[-] Swarfega@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

SSD? Check out Mr fancy pants. Mines an old USB 2.0 HDD.

[-] cholesterol@lemmy.wtf 1 points 10 months ago

[-] lazyslacker@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago
