Hey all,
I've finally decided to take the plunge and setup a Pi-hole, however, I'm also curious about running a Jellyfinn server on a Pi instead of keeping my desktop PC powered on. From what I gathered, if you get a decent Raspberry Pi model (4 and newer) you can run both one single Pi. Is that correct? Due to transcoding needing more horsepower under the hood, I'd probably want to go with a Pi 5, correct?
Also, what is the recommended storage for media on a Pi? Do you just transfer stuff over to a micro SD card? Attach an external hard drive? I don't have a huge collection, but maybe 128gb would be the most I'd need for now. Apologies if this has been asked before, but I wasn't seeing any information on this when I searched.
Thanks in advance!
