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’ve bought $10 Igel thin client with some quadcore AMD shitcessor. It runs very snappy, even transcodes (that is not snappy), but as I never need to transcode, it works very well for me. I’ve mounted my TV and Movie & music colections from my NAS with CIFS and it works very well.
