JellyFin server - User 4145 - 2023-11-28
I'm looking forward to open a JellyFin server (or Plex or whatever) but I'm not that informed when it comes to servers and their power etc.
I found this computer than I want to use because it fits in my budget and it seems to have okay-ish specs:
Q556/2 Mini
Processor: Intel Pentium G4560T - 1150 socket | Dual core @ 2,9GHz
Motherboard: Intel H110 - Socket 1151 • Intel H110 chipset
Memory: 8GB DDR4 2400Mhz
Video Card: Intel HD Graphics 610
SSD: 128GB - 2,5" (500+ read/write)
Is this Processor good enough to run a JellyFin server, and how good would it run?
Also, I looked up a lot of info on this PC/motherboard but I somehow didn't find anywhere if it has 2 SATA ports or if it at least has a m.2 slot.
I thought the best idea would be to mount a m.2 ssd and then buy a 1tb HDD for movies and whatnot, but I'm not sure if it's possible so I also thought maybe then a SATA SSD and a SATA HDD would fit. (the SSD that the PC comes with is a SATA one)
Thanks in advance!

Should be fine.
I'm running Proxmox on an J5005 and inside Jellyfin on LXC without GPU. It works fine when there is no transcoding needed. When transcoding 2 Streams are the limit it can do on CPU.
Your CPU is about 50% faster than that.
I would always recommend to use the Jellyfin Media Player app on your clients it usually gives the best performance.
