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:

My Plex server is a small Intel QuickSync box in a 2U chassis in my rack.

  • Intel Celeron G4900
  • ARCTIC Alpine 12 LP cooler
  • 12GB DDR4 RAM
  • Gigabyte H310M-A board
  • 400W PSU from EVGA
  • Mellanox ConnectX-3 10 GbE network card
  • no discreet GPU, relying on Celeron’s built-in UHD 610 iGPU
  • iStar D-213-MATX chassis

It’s running PlexPass edition on Ubuntu 22.04. This little beast can do 15 simultaneous (non-4k) hardware transcodes without breaking sweat.

The actual media is on a 50TB UnRaid server that also hosts various media managers like Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Bazarr, etc. I also have another Plex server instance running in a Docker container for direct playing of 4k content, because QuickSync can’t quite handle that.

Rule 1 - Don't be a dick

Don’t be a dick. This includes any kind of trolling, baiting, etc. Bigotry may result in an instant permaban.

Rule 2 - No misleading or non-descriptive titles

No misleading or non-descriptive titles. Try to be brief but detailed.

Rule 3 - Keep post and comments relevant

Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.

Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.

Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the “how” not the “what”, as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don’t want to get this community defederated from instances where it’s a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy (“How do I find X show?” or “Where can I download Y film?”)will be removed. For further clarification see this post

Rule 5 - No asking / offering Plex shares.

No asking / offering Plex shares. There are other communities for that.

Rule 7 - No referral / self-promotion / affiliate links, personal voting / campaigning / funding, or selling posts
