So, I've been thinking about getting myself one of those refurbished Supermicro servers off Ebay. Just for this post I grabbed one of the first I saw and I've listed the specs below. I've got about 250 TB in External HDDs I need to shuck, hence the 36 Bay server. I also plan on using a machine like this for all sorts of self-hosting, tinkering and getting myself into trouble... My main concern is will Jellyfin get along with this type of hardware and run well? How about Jellyfin & Windows server? Many years ago, I was shocked to learn that some software applications I regularly used wouldn't install on a Windows Server 2003 box I had setup. I might decide to go with Linux even though I've never used Linux before. It's probably about darn time I start!
Thank you...
