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.

    You can disable most of that stuff on Plex. But yeah, Jellyfin is nicer anyways as it’s free software.

      Plex is also free. None of the premium stuff you pay for is essential except downloading I guess but like… You already have access to the files locally so that’s pretty easy to work around

          I have been using Plex for five years and I have not spent a dollar. How long have you been using it?

          Pretty shitty behavior on your part with that link. Thanks for the patronizing nonsense.

          But don’t take my word for it.

          Edit: ah Free not free price. Mea culpa
