Weekly Share-Your-Build Post
This is part of a weekly series of Share-Your-Build Post threads for everyone to share their builds, discuss different server solutions, and share knowledge and resources! Please be polite and helpful to beginners just getting started out, and we want to be as welcoming as we can to newcomers to this community.
Common info to share can include:
- Plex server make/model
- CPU and GPU info
- Storage solution info
- Plex add-on info (Radarr, Sonarr, Docker, etc.)
- other configuration info
Anyone who posts good starter guides, FAQs, and/or wikis may get their links added to the sidebar so the rest of the community can benefit!
Cheers!
Ooooh.
I’ve just spent the day installing Synology DSM on a passively cooled micro pc with a Pentium N3510 and 4gb of ram.
I haven’t had a chance to test performance yet. Certainly not 4K capable but that’s okay. If it can handle 1080p I’ll mark it a win.
Sonarr and Radarr in dockers on DSM.
12tb USB attached HDD.
I’m not sure if this will be a permanent setup. Will depend what the 1080p performance is like.
But I had the box sitting in the cupboard and I’m really keen to cut ties with streaming services
I’d have loved to go all 4k myself, but I just don’t have the storage capacity for it atm. plus, even with my 4K tv, I just don’t see such a huge difference between 4K and 1080. I have a small apt so I don’t have a huge tv. if I did, I’d notice I more, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeh I’m similar. I’ve found that yeh it looks a bit better but at 10x the storage it starts being really cost prohibitive for a small benefit.
On a side note, I’ve got the server up and running and it crushes 1080p. No performance issues at all.
Absolutely insane from a 7.5w TDP cpu. Seven POINT five watt.
Currently have everything in a Node 804 sitting on a shelf in the office. Will be racked soon, along with everything else, to save space. Nothing too crazy
Hardware:
- Ryzen 7 3700x
- B550 mATX board
- 32GB RAM
- 2x WD Red Pro 6TB (1 parity)
- 6x WD Red 4TB
- 2x Samsung EVO 1TB cache pool
Services:
Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Deluge, Overseerr, Tautulli, PMM, Homarr, plus a few other random ones I mess around with.
Running all services through docker integration in Unraid OS.
Have an old Dell Optiplex with a E3-1200 Xenon running esxi with 32GB RAM and an Nvidia k620.
- Ubuntu server VM running Plex
- Ubuntu server VM running sonarr/radarr, Jackett and Qbit
- Synology DS412+ with 4x 4TB drives using SHR
Just got a smoking deal on a DS1819+ that I'll be loading with 12TB drives.
My setup is extremely simple 😅
- A Synology DS218play (5 years old at this point)
- 2x6 TB Western Digital Red in RAID1
- Plex package from plex.tv, installed through Synology Package Center
- an Apple TV 4K as a client
Runs smooth up to 4K SDR but HDR is too much for it. Mainly using to watch recorded media.
ATV gang woot!
