  but I’d suggest reconsidering the Pi

  It’s what I have on hand at the moment. I don’t have proper server hardware yet.

  and a microSD to host Jellyfin.

  Beyond that, SD cards are terrible for this kind of task and you’d be much better served with an SSD as your boot/data drive for robustness. I can’t even count the number of failed SD cards I’ve had over the years.

  I will keep this in mind, thank you!

  Neither one of these are a good fit unless you plan on sticking to very specific audio and video codecs to avoid all transcoding and your upload speeds are capable of serving the full bitrate of your files.

  I haven’t tried playing videos from my Raspberry Pi, but I’ve been able to run extremely modern video codecs on some pretty old hardware without any issues. Since I’ve never had issues with video codecs, I’m not experienced in what hardware can and can’t handle it.

    A micro sized PC with an i5 and 8gb or ram can cost under 100€, and it’s way more powerful compared to a pi. Power efficient too. That’s what I used for a long time for my jellyfin server.

      Thank you! I’d like to avoid extra costs, since I already have the Pi on hand, but when I have the money I will switch to a proper server.

      Can I run it via PoE?

        I don’t think so, but don’t quote me on that. My machines come with a 65w charger.
