Silent media + webhosting server capable 4k HEVC transcoding
Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2017 2:28 am
Hello,
I am looking to purchase a 24/7 on server that will stand in our guest room. I would prefer to not have to turn this off when we have guests, so I am trying to make it as quiet as possible.
The usage of the server would be:
Plex media server, where I would like to have 4k on the fly transcoding power
Host a web server
Store all my data (probably around 4 harddrives)
I am planning to install Debian 9 on it, and potentially also ZFS file system (if no one has a better secure solution)?
My question is really where to start, I read a lot about different CPUs but it seems almost impossible to be able to combine all the different pieces into something that fulfills my needs of power but at the same time is not sounding like an airplane landing.
Hope someone can help me out!
