Hello pirates, I am looking to start sailing the seas again but it's been a while looking for hardware requirements? (discuss.tchncs.de)

As the title states I am wondering what would be a good machine to build for my piracy. I am open to buying a used machine on eBay and expanding over time.

The last time I was sailing I had a Dell R610 Server Rack but I don’t have the space for this now. So something that can sit behind a tv stand in the corner next to the router.

I would be running Plex / Jellyfin
Some kind of torrent software
Something for NZBs if still viable
then the usual SONARR, RADARR, etc

I would like to be able to let friends connect from outside my house to stream media and allow them access so they can add films and the server goes off and finds them, extracts them, and adds them to the media server.

Thanks.

Jellyfin offers HTTPS, you just need to specify a certificate. It's going to be a lot easier to just setup a web server like nginx and expose that to the internet, probably via port forwarding on your gateway/router. In that case, you can get a free certificate from letsencrypt.

So, the basic steps are:

Get a domain name
Setup JF server, ensure it works locally
Install a web server and set it up to proxy traffic to JF
Expose the web server ports 80 and 443 to the internet
Setup letsencrypt with automatic renewal

This might sound like a lot of work, but at least you own your data and service. Plex can and will block accounts, rendering servers basically useless.
