Hello pirates, I am looking to start sailing the seas again but it's been a while looking for hardware requirements? (discuss.tchncs.de)

As the title states I am wondering what would be a good machine to build for my piracy. I am open to buying a used machine on eBay and expanding over time.

The last time I was sailing I had a Dell R610 Server Rack but I don’t have the space for this now. So something that can sit behind a tv stand in the corner next to the router.

I would be running Plex / Jellyfin
Some kind of torrent software
Something for NZBs if still viable
then the usual SONARR, RADARR, etc

I would like to be able to let friends connect from outside my house to stream media and allow them access so they can add films and the server goes off and finds them, extracts them, and adds them to the media server.

Thanks.

I keep Plex as a backup because some client devices are really tetchy about interacting with Jellyfin. Not every smart device supports the Jellyfin app (nor VLC), and if they do have a built-in media player it's typically one that uses filesize-based progress tracking, i.e. you wind up being unable to fast-forward or rewind the video (or sometimes unable to even pause). Generally every major brand of smart device has a version of the Plex app, for better or worse.
