Best SBC for servarr and jellyfin?
I have sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, jellyfin and qbittorrent-nox running on my computer. I want to move it to an sbc so it can run 24h/day and draw less power.
All my media are on a M.2 drive so it's important to have a way to somehow connect it to that sbc.
Fyi I also intend to run AdGuard
What sbc do you recommend for such a setup? Do I have to wait for RPi 5 or are there better alternatives? Of course the best value for money
If you have the cash: Get a (used) NUC or mini-pc.
You'll benefit more from the RAM and x86 and you can transcode.
I think, I have to save a default-comment for this. Old thin clients are incredibly cheap, small and full blown x86 machines.
Used mini PC FTW
I 2nd this.
I'm running mine on Pi4. It works, but I wouldn't really recommend it. It needs frequent reboots and tends to choke on anything over 1080.
I have one of these and it works great. Intel CPU means great hardware transcoding support on Jellyfin, but it has very low power usage.

I'm running this on a Pi 3b+, however the performance leaves more to be desired, when using Jellyfin. With Plex, this is not an issue at all. Smooth sailing, assuming you'll not be watching bluray rips of gigantic file size
