Hello everyone,

I am looking for a new home server to replace my existing hp proliant microserver gen8.

Requirements:

  1. Reduce power consumption. It currently runs at around 60 watts at idle, I would like to reduce that.

  2. Enough performance for various docker containers

  3. Enough power for 4k HDR video transcoding for a jellyfin container, whether graphics unit in the CPU or an additional graphics card doesn’t matter

  4. At least 4 SATA ports and space for 2 m.2 SSDs

  5. 16GB of RAM is a minimum

It doesn’t have to be a ready-made solution, I have no problem putting everything together myself.

Edit: Budget is ~500€

    Your requirements are confusing.

    I get the sata ports, but why the 2 m.2 SSD’s?

    Why the 16 GB ram minimum? My server has multiple containers/services and barely uses 3 gb ram.

    I say this because this is the crux of the issue:

    1. Enough performance for various docker containers

    What you do here effects everything else right?

    So a little clarification about what services might help make design a little easier.
