Hey all, I started hosting my own media server using jellyfin on a raspberry pi. This was mostly because I was new to the space and didn't want to invest heavily in hardware only to drop the project or find that I couldn't make it work for some reason.

I've now got it all set up and working, but the pi is absolutely not able to handle any sort of transcoding. So I'm now looking to upgrade the hardware.

Currently, I only need something that can handle transcoding two sub-4k streams concurrently. But I don't want to fully shut away the possibility of streaming 4k media. I should have the space for it, my current limiting factor is processing power.

Reading the jellyfin docs on recommended hardware, my understanding is that I should be OK if I get a recent Intel i7 CPU as long as it's got integrated graphics?

I am currently planning to build a small form factor PC and run it as a headless Linux (possibly Debian) server with jellyfin and everything else running in docker.

Mostly, I want to ask: does anyone with experience doing this have concerns or advice? In particular:

Is just the CPU processing power sufficient for everything if the CPU is chosen correctly?
If the CPU is not sufficient, is it difficult to set up a dedicated graphics card on a headless server?

Assuming the best intentions, they could fully intend (and ideally be in the process of) returning your charger. They could just be asking to ballpark when your phone will be at full charge so they can ask to use the charger again later

For educational purposes what is a more expected/desired response from a nuerotypical person?

No luck getting my Lemmy instance up and running, is this a good place to get some help? in c/[email protected]

I skimmed the guide you sent and the top says that the portions in brackets are placeholders and need to be replaced with real values. If you change {{ lemmy_docker_image }} to be the name of the image to use dessalines/lemmy:0.18.0 for example, do you get further

Huge respect for what you've built here, but it might be worth reaching out to the lemm.ee admin. I only know enough DevOps and cloud hosting to be dangerous, not helpful. But his instance seems stable and scalable. He might be able to offer some insight into the issues here
