Hi all, so I'm looking at setting up my JF server. I have things running okay, I'm working on exposing it to the Internet, (I'm using DuckDNS and NGINX). But once I start needing a few transcodes going at the same time, I'm going to want more horsepower than my little laptop I'm running it on, even with hardware transcoding.
So I'm wondering what experience people have with aggregating a few PCs into a single server?
I've got a few laptops that mostly sit around doing nothing, so I'm wondering if using Proxmox and allocating the resources of a few of the PCs will work well. Some of them are different generations of Intel CPUs, but I do have two 8th gen laptops, so I could use just those if it'll be eaiser?
