Sure, I’ll check my notes when I get home

I’m a home-lab newbie but I built a NAS & Jellyfin server with a Raspberry Pi 5 and it works great. I got a SATA hat for it and it has 5x 8TB HDDs installed with ZFS RAIDZ1 in a custom 3D printed case. It can stream 4K on my network just fine. If there are other tasks you want your server to do or if you want to stream to multiple devices simultaneously I’m sure other people would recommend something more powerful but I just wanted to add my 2 cents. I picked up another Pi to set up tail scale (work in progress) and yet another Pi (open-box discount) to set up Immich (near-future project). I wouldn’t expect one Pi to handle all of those things simultaneously but I haven’t tried it.

Pretty sure a decent amount of them are bots. I’m in the same boat, I try to just ignore them. Next-door is nice for getting rid of stuff you don’t need, otherwise I would uninstall it.

… Microsoft?

I always regret never picking up those skills.

Never too late

I smell fear.

Looking forward to Louis Rossmann’s inevitable video on this.

For the time being I’m content with my little raspberry pi 5 running debian. I can stream 4K on my home network and that’s all the performance I need for now.

Glad I started out with Jellyfin

People keep saying the Pi is CPU limited but it hasn’t gotten over 10% between all 4 cores while I’ve been transferring files. 16GB of RAM doesn’t seem very limited to me either. Thanks for the link!

Just getting my feet wet. I have plenty of other uses for a Pi so if the NAS doesn’t work out that’s fine, I’ll get something else. Worst case I’m out $70-ish for the Raxda SATA hat. Something is seemingly not right with my config, I haven’t gotten the Pi to break a sweat yet. Thanks for your input though.

16GB of RAM. I figured it might be overkill but I went all-in anyways.

I don’t know what ARC is and my searches so far haven’t helped. The CPU usage is pretty low, on htop is rarely passes 10%.

Edit: I asked chatGPT what it means, this seems like exactly the setting I was hoping to find. I’ll check it out and post an update.

Edit2: I changed the ARC size to 8GB and it definitely seems to have gotten slower.

I guess the Radxa Penta SATA hat would be considered the controller.

I haven’t seen more than maybe 32MB/s. The transfers I’ve done are all on my local network from my desktop to my NAS which is plugged into my router. I have samba installed, my NAS shows up as a network drive just fine and I’ve just been dragging/dropping on my desktop GUI. Before setting up RAID, when I did this I would get around 200MB/s. The Pi has 16GB of RAM and I’m using less than 1.5GB while making a large transfer from my desktop to the NAS.

5x 8TB HDD at 5400rpm all hooked up to a Radxa Penta SATA hat.

Added an edit to my post.

Printing an enclosure now that will significantly improve the airflow

“sudo shutdown” gives you 60 seconds, “sudo shutdown now” does not, which is what I usually use. I’m thinking I could launch a script on startup that will check a pin every x seconds and run a shutdown command once it gets pulled low.
