plex

Greetings, I am currently in a thought process of redesigning my home network into a much better system and wanted to get some feedback on this forum. There may be better ways or better tools out there that I don't know yet. Main things I wanted to focus one: plex as media server, nextcloud as...

Hey Guys first time posting on the forum, I've recently decided to build a dedicated Plex Server and NAS instead of piggy backing off my gaming rig so I wanted some advice. The last time I built a computer was about 5 years ago so all my knowledge about what is best to buy is very out of date...

Hello. I’m looking at building a new UnRAID server, to replace my current SAN, an old HP P4300g2, that I have outgrown. The box will mainly handle Plex streams, 3-5 at a time, and ideally be able to handle 4K transcodes as well. Additionally, it will host a file server as well. I have...
