I have a family of 12 members, who would mostly use the watch-together feature, we might even be abroad and watch over the internet. I have this setup using cloudflare and kemp. I need to now build a small box (mini PC) as we are going abroad, I cannot take my rack with me.
So I want to know what are the implications, espeically in performance, when using HDD vs SSD vs M.2 for streaming, especially to multiple people, (about 12 max). I want the best performance. So which storage configuration as well as the physical storage mode would be best for that use case, I just want to click the media and buffer it, skip it, without delay.
Secondly, how do I go about customizing and updating it easily. Do I just update the docker image? How can I customize the default colors etc a little bit.
I want to just build it once and forget about it, I will most likely run proxmox in the mini PC, one to manage storage, and one for dolphin, or should I just have one linxu host with docker running? Because ATM I just share the synology quick connect portal with family members or close friends to upload their media. I have been working on building a site for easier uploads. But is there already a premade one etc?
I also read about transcoding vs direct play while doing a little bit of research, I found that the file itself matters a lot for performance of the stream and quality, so I now only put the best files in the server, or use handbreak to process them before uploading.
Sorry it is a lot of quesitons, if you can link me to other helpful threads will also appreciate, I dont care how technical it is, I am just trying to save time and build it quickly as I am very busy, so a guide will be apprceiated.
