Hello pirates, I am looking to start sailing the seas again but it's been a while looking for hardware requirements? (discuss.tchncs.de)

As the title states I am wondering what would be a good machine to build for my piracy. I am open to buying a used machine on eBay and expanding over time.

The last time I was sailing I had a Dell R610 Server Rack but I don’t have the space for this now. So something that can sit behind a tv stand in the corner next to the router.

  • I would be running Plex / Jellyfin
  • Some kind of torrent software
  • Something for NZBs if still viable
  • then the usual SONARR, RADARR, etc

I would like to be able to let friends connect from outside my house to stream media and allow them access so they can add films and the server goes off and finds them, extracts them, and adds them to the media server.

Thanks.

Something to also keep in mind is the codec support of the GPU for hardware decoding and transcoding if that's important to you. The Optiplexes will mostly be fine in this regard but if you see yourself needing AV1 support anytime soon, Intel's N line is an efficient and relatively cheap option. Getting HDR tone mapping working at the hardware level might also be something to look out for.
