Hi y'all, I currently have JellyFin set up on my personal desktop but I'd like to set it up on a dedicated server. I've never had a NAS of any sort, but I was planning to DIY one in something like a Fractal Node 802 with 4x8TB Seagate IronWolf drives to start and run TrueNAS Scale. However, I don't know what sort of CPU I'd need to be able to support transcoding. There'd probably only be 2 streams at a time, max.
I'm wondering what sort of CPU would be fine with this? Do I need a Core series CPU or would some Celeron be okay? Do I need an A380 GPU? Does this even make sense or would it be better to go with something like a 4-bay Synology that supports HW transcoding?
Hopefully that all makes sense, thanks!
