Comment on Recommended mini pc for a homelab?
ramenshaman@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’m a home-lab newbie but I built a NAS & Jellyfin server with a Raspberry Pi 5 and it works great. I got a SATA hat for it and it has 5x 8TB HDDs installed with ZFS RAIDZ1 in a custom 3D printed case. It can stream 4K on my network just fine. If there are other tasks you want your server to do I’m sure other people would recommend something more powerful but I just wanted to add my 2 cents. I picked up another Pi to set up tail scale (work in progress) and yet another Pi (open-box discount) to set up Immich (near-future project). I wouldn’t expect one Pi to handle all of those things simultaneously but I haven’t tried it.

Can you link your guide for the PI NAS and Jellyfin server? It might be my only option given prices.

A pi 5 will cost way more than a second hand mini pc.

Sure, I’ll check my notes when I get home
