I’m running three servers: one for home automation/NVR, one for NAS/media services, and one for network/firewall services.

Does this breakdown look doable based on the hardware? Should the services be ditributed differently for better efficiency?

Server 1 and 3 are already up and running. I just received my NAS, and am trying to decide where to run each service to best take advantage of my hardware.

I’m also considering UnRaid instead of Proxmox for a NAS OS. I just chose Proxmox because I’m familiar with it, and I like the ability to snapshot. I also intend to run Proxmox Backup Server offsite at some point, and I like the PVE/PBS integration.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

    quicksync should let the i3 handle jellyfin just fine if you’re not going beyond 1080p for a couple of concurrent users. Especially if you configure the Nice values to prefer jellyfin over immich.

    I’m not aware of the platform for the n300 because it might be worth the initial setup, and have some room to upgrade the CPU later if it causes trouble.

    If OP is going for multiple systems, I’d definitely agree on making one of them a pure NAS and let a more upgradable system run the chunky stuff.

      Most of my content is 4K h264. You may be right on the 1080 but I don’t have content at that resolution generally.

      Worst case scenario he can always keep the N300 for other stuff if it doesn’t work out.
