I started with a Raspberry pi 4, but thats not a good usecase, especially due to missing support for transcoding, so i upgraded to Intel NUC N5105 which handles stuff fine, the drives is in external bays, but i am looking for a multi drive bay solution that also have a fan. My limitation is space for the setup.
But the most important thing is to consider if you wanna use QSV (Intel CPUs) or GPU (Nvidia/Intel)
I use Linux Debian on a headless server, i dont know how much heavier Windows is, but i would never use Windows for a task that requires 24/7/365 usage and Jellyfin with docker-compose - thats easy to backup, restore, upgrade and downgrade if needed
I don't really have any space related limitations, my main focus is on a price-to-performance build that handles my minimum requirements. Is there a reason why you went with N5105 instead of N100 which I've seen many people recommend for a mini-pc? Do you think you could let me know what kind of external bays you used and also what kind of multi-drive bay you are looking into? I've seen stuff like TerraMaster and Orico but not sure how would you determine which one you should get.
Preferably, I would like to not have a single transcoding stream but the capability of transcoding would be a plus.
