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

    If they’re getting a used desktop (unless it’s really old), it probably already has an Intel CPU with a decent enough integrated GPU to do transcoding without the GPU. Not only will that save OP money on their setup, but also on their power bill.
