Currently running all my docker compose containers on my gaming PC. 15 containers in total. Mostly *arr stack, plex, immich, home assistant, actual budget and jellyfin. Running on Mint.
Want to get these onto a dedicated pc. I have a mini with a I5 10-600, 32GB ram. I’ve played with it a little with jellyfin, on Debian and don’t think I was able to get quick sync enabled with my testing, and one transcode pretty much maxed out the CPU usage. To use this PC, I’d need to buy a 4 bay USB HDD enclosure.
So, basically I’m just wondering before I spend money and time if the hardware is even capable enough for my usage. 3 concurrent streams is probably the most it’d ever see, ideally with no more than 2 transcodes. Immich, home assistant etc are all pretty new and just in testing for now, but would only have 2 users total. Mostly using Plex, jellyfin is also in testing so it’ll be ready if plex enshitifies too much.


The most useful part of those articles is the ffmpeg command you can run inside the container to test it.
