Yes the node 804 is exactly what I'm looking for! It's a bit outdated in terms of looks but I don't really mind that much for a home server. Aside from that it seams pretty much perfect.
This is really cool. And I would say a good replacement for current cloud setups. Since it's unreasonable to expect everyone to self-host.
Although I think this could only really be a cost saving measure since there are already services like protondrive that offer end 2 end encryption. And I would probably trust the reliability of proton drive over the community hosting my stuff.
Generally intel has the best idle power consumption although amd won’t be terrible either. unless you already have an amd motherboard or cpu lying around I would recommend grabbing a 11th gen i5.
If you want to reduce your power idle power consumption undervolting won’t help you there, it will only reduce power consumption while under load. Generally the biggest killer for idle power consumption is actually your motherboard and for that reason try to find a smaller motherboard. Mini-itx is best but you’ll probably find that micro-atx is a lot cheaper while not sacrificing too much power draw.
I can’t say how useful your gtx 960 will be, I’d test it to see if it can encode/decode/transcode video fast enough for your needs and just be weary that it will likely use a fair bit of power even at idle. If it is fast enough then you can easily get away with an 8th/9th gen intel cpu you’ll find they are a lot cheaper, you could get an even older cpu as per Jellyfins hardware requirements but you’ll sacrifice some power consumption and probably not save that much money. 8th/9th gen CPU’s have pretty good power idle power consumption which is of course what should be targeted here.
How have I never heard of tape drives for backup before? They seam like the ultimate medium for archival storage. Super cheap although very slow, sounds like a good compromise to me.
Thanks for the help. It seams like plasma big screen is back in development and is getting regular pull requests on it's git repo. I guess we can both just wait for it to have a stable release.
Dude! plasma big screen is exactly what I was looking for. I hope it is available for public use reasonably soon.
In the meantime does steam big picture work for other apps like jellyfin?
If you want to set-up disk encryption you should probably understand that while the server is booted up as far as I know there will be no disk encryption leaving it completely available for anyone to take data from
Although most people entering your house would probably unplug the laptop and open it at there own home the data could still be valuable if it stays powered up with battery power.
I've heard of seafile but i remember something about it turned me off, ocis on the other hand sounds awesome, owncloud but written in go? I will definitely look into that and thanks for the recommendation.
That's right I need native drive mounting into dolphin and Macos finder. Seafile doesn't have it for any linux file Explorer which means it won't work for me.
