Hi,
I’ll be receiving a Ugreen DXP4800 Plus NAS in a couple days. I’ll be throwing in 4x12TB HDD’s, 2x1TB nvme drives and upgrading the stock 8GB of RAM to 32GB (2x16GB).
I’ve been doing research on whether or not the NAS can run a Jellyfin server well or not. But I’ve been seeing mixed information.
I’ve seen some posts on here from like a year ago where someone said running Jellyfin on a NAS is not recommended due to not being powerful enough for things like transcoding and whatnot. Which made sense to me. So then I was thinking about continuing to run the Jellyfin server on my main computer (which is where it is already running) and just mapping it to media stored on the NAS.
However, I was just watching a video from NASCompares about setting up a Ugreen NAS and he shows installing Jellyfin server on the NAS. Not only that but that Jellyfin server can be installed natively from the Ugreen UGOS App Center to Docker.
So now I’m a bit confused as to whether or not the NAS can run the Jellyfin server or not?
For reference I also plan to have the various servarr apps, qBittorrent, Gluetun, Tailscale, Homebridge, Jellyseerr, etc all running on the NAS as well. I plan to have all the apps running on 1 of the nvme drives rather than on the slower mechanical drives. I also plan to have a mixture of things like 1080p/4K shows and 4K HDR/HDR10+ (somtimes Remuxed) movies.
Hoping someone can clarify things for me. Thanks!
