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.
I’d call it decidedly overpowered for what you need - though I put my storage elsewhere, I’m using an 8th gen intel i5 for that and more.
With QSV, you can handle 2 transcodes simultaneously easily. I mentioned recently on mine that I had 6 simultaneous, of those were 4 transcodes and 2 direct streams, and utilization was barely more than where it idles at (while running everything else).
