system requirements - dayjob111 - 2025-10-16

I have an older intel mac mini i use for a media server. It's on an older OS and Can't be updated w/o some heroic efforts. What is the minimum system requirement to run Jellyfin? I scanned the forum and the website but couldn't find details on this. 

Maybe i missed something obvious. been known to happen Winking-face

You can read about recommended hardware on that page.
Your usecase is not what the Jellyfin project aims to be used on.
