I used to have a jellyfin server on an old desktop but now my only spare computer is a raspberry pi. It should be able to install the app but would a raspberry pi 3b+ actually be able to run a jellyfin server at a usable level? I’ll probably mainly use it for CD rips, so it shouldn’t be super demanding but the raspberry pi isn’t super powerful either. What do y’all think?
I thought Pi 4 can’t do transcoding for jellyfin? Am I mistaken? Or maybe it’s only 4K it can’t do?
It doesn’t have a proper GPU
the pi 5 lacks hardware transcoding. pi 4 could do it, but it was deprecated by jellyfin.
maybe consider picking up a (used) mini pc instead.
