I used to have a jellyfin server on an old desktop but now my only spare computer is a raspberry pi. It should be able to install the app but would a raspberry pi 3b+ actually be able to run a jellyfin server at a usable level? I'll probably mainly use it for CD rips, so it shouldn't be super demanding but the raspberry pi isn't super powerful either. What do y'all think?

@[email protected] in my experience you can definitely play music and watch movies as long as the client doesn’t need transcoding

How would I know if the client needs transcoding?

If the client doesn't support the codec or resolution of the media then it'll need transcoding
