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.

Depends on numbers of simultaneous streaming capability you need i think. I recently bought a 50 € used esprimo "office computer" and it runs very well. I put a 50 € 1TB nvme SSD+ ~200 € 4TB external ssd and a 30 € wifi pci card and good to go, +- 330 € total... Used an old 1TB HDD i still had for back-up. It wouldn't suffice for dozens of simultaneous streams with transcoding, but it runs my <5 users jellyfin+deluge+nextcloud very well.
