Glances has everything you require and it can also be self-contained.

Subsonic or similar?

Fair enough, but I wouldn’t host something I consider as an essential service on something that isn’t constantly powered.

Guess our use cases are way too different to properly compare. 😊

I feel you. I have a used Moxa E2210 for IOs. I prefer not to think how much I paid for that.

No shit. I have five Lenovo Tiny M720q with the i5-9500t and 32 gigs of RAM each in a XCP-NG cluster, another one as standalone Plex server (QuickSync kept on failing under XCP) plus an old Shuttle SFF with an old (2015, I think) Atom acting as standalone.

Power consumption is pretty much minimal, with NVMEs I don’t have to worry about slow data rates, nor sudden disk failures.

Most of all, all of these were cheap and easy to find. My two 8 bays Synology cost me way more, without even taking the disks in consideration.

Why would I even go for a RasPi or equivalent?

Depending on how heavy it is, you could use some blue tack. It comes off pretty easily without removing traces on the wall.

The way I see it, it looks like it can’t write the files because it can’t fetch them from the network. Without a lot dump I may very well be wrong, though.

That looks like a network issue.

What’s your definition for cheap and average?

There you go: https://synocommunity.com/package/jellyfin

You need to install the SynoCommunity repository. Haven’t tested it (I am still with Plex), so YMMV.

Is there a specific reason to mount the lun directly opposed to creating a virtual disk? Performance, maybe?

Woooooosh

You can easily get 1TB USB sticks.

This one looks like it’s right up my alley. I wishlisted it and will wait until it’s out of early access.

Thank you!

It depends on what you need to upgrade/do. I usually upgrade stuff, but at the same time I also have templates in case I quickly need to spin up something new.

If that’s the case, I seed the new instance whatever conf files are needed and I am up and running quickly. Consider that in my work environment we rarely use containers (more of a philosophy at this point than a real reason, since we also have a relatively big K8s cluster for big data).

I use Lidarr on one of my servers to automate downloads/tagging/placement of music on my NAS, so I don’t honestly know. Sorry! 😔
