I am looking to basically just transition to a small time, forever on, server to support my growing Plex footprint. I don’t need anything top of the line, and I’ve already crimped my lines to the room.

What’s the most cost effective way to go about this? Figured i would come to the pros.

Thanks!

    Personally I would do this

    Find an old laptop, desktop, any computer

    Put proxmox on it. It’s free and lightweight

    Create a Plex LXC. Also free and lightweight. There are community scripts to do this.

    You should get pretty good performance on Plex, you can manage the computer through a web browser and it only costs you whatever the cost of finding some hardware to put it on is
