Comment on Replacing a small business windows server

Fedora and Proxmox are substantially different. Proxmox is meant to be used from a web interface only, and is meant to host virtual machines and containers.
An extremely appropriate use for you, BTW.
Fedora can be a desktop or a server, as can Debian or Arch or pretty much anything else, including installing qemu (vm’s).
The proxmox benefit is specifically that web interface, IMO, along with (if you had more servers) clustering. Which is not to put down proxmox at all, its on almost all of my servers (including a bunch for work).
Jellyfin is a server, yes, but you can still control Jellyfin clients - https://github.com/xnstad/jellyfin-remote
That said, there are many options. You can use vlc or juk and control them both from a web interface. You don’t need a server solutions for audio playback, you want a local media player.

Yes, but fedora server has cockpit and I can swing that or proxmox to do that same thing so either way this is doable. I’m still planning this all out.
The server was overbuilt years ago and I want to give it more responsibilities this time around. They currently have a dying all in wone pc that just runs iheartradio all day I tot he speakers int eh store and that seems wasteful to me. The server is running all the time anyway so I want to just fold that into its responsibilities. Give int a nice simple webUI is a just a bonus.

No worries, just wanted to make sure you knew the difference there.
Also, check out shinobi, motioneye, and Nx witness. Frigate is oriented for detection, so not the ideal answer if you have no interest in detection.

ooooh, shinobi grew up while I was away!
