Advice on server specs for Jellyfin with 50 users - hushaan - 2024-11-02 Hi everyone! I'm planning to set up a Jellyfin server for about 50 users (mostly friends and family) and am considering this configuration: Server Model: Dell PowerEdge R6515 CPU: AMD EPYC 7402P RAM: 64GB ECC DDR4 Storage: 2x 480GB SSDs with a RAID controller Network: 1 Gbps (50TB transfer) The cost is around €101.99/mo (ex VAT). My main question is: How many simultaneous 1080p transcodes could this server handle? Also, do you think this setup is overkill, or could I find a more cost-effective alternative that still meets my needs? Looking forward to your advice on potential cheaper options with a good balance of performance and value. Thanks in advance!

Just look at our GH issues with people with that many users, jellyfin will have all sorts of issues providing transcodes to 50 individual users.
