Hello all,
I’m looking for recommendations on hardware to run a Jellyfin server. I want to support up to 4 simultaneous streams, likely to a mix of laptops and Roku devices.
I’m considering a Mini PC for its low cost and compact size. In addition to Jellyfin, I’ll be running a few Docker containers hosting typical web apps, so it needs to handle that as well.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
Would love to hear suggestions for Mini PCs or small form factor hardware that fit my needs!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Here’s what I’m looking for:
- Budget: Under $1,000
- Storage: At least 4TB, but ideally upgradable to 8TB
- Operating System: Comfortable running headless Linux
- Usage: Streaming + Docker containers hosting web apps
- Stream count: Up to 4 streams max
Would love to hear suggestions for Mini PCs or small form factor hardware that fit my needs!
