I am planning on repurposing an old desktop I have lying around to build an Unraid server. Aside from backups for me and my family, I'd like to run Jellyfin server on it as my Mac's storage isn't large enough for my growing collection of Linux ISOs. The question is - will my 2-core i3-4130 with 8GB of RAM able to handle all this? Will I need a dGPU? I don't want for it to be able to run 5 streams simultaneously (just 1 will be enough), but transcoding will probably be required as some of the stuff I have is 4k HDR. I can upgrade the CPU for an i5-4570S (10€) or i7-4790 (30€) for more than double the performance of what i have, but I'd like to know if all of this is even possible before I make any purchase.
Thanks in advance
