Comment on Server build for Jellyfin/arrs and docker

If I was you I would go with a custom build. You will need a PC case, a motherboard, some ram, plug in your HDDs and SSDs, maybe throw in a Nvidia graphics card for transcoding.
On the OS side I would recommend to look into something like unraid, it would allow you to run the arrs in docker.

Thanks for that, have also considered this. What would be the benefit of going this way?

IMO, the hardware can be easily swapped as needed and upgraded where need.
For the OS its a little “easier” to use and providers a little more “flexibility” as you have more choices in what to install. There are some great videos on YouTube that I recommend to get you started. Have a look at spaceinvaders videos for pretty much everything if you go this route.
