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

[–] JFowler369@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] EyesEyesBaby@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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.

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

[–] s3rvant@kbin.social 3 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

pimylifeup.com taught me everything

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago
