[Help needed] Solution for 247 Headless NAS + Torrent box

[kekerode]

I am in a similar situation as you. Currently using a pi3b, which is a limiting factor now. Need more powerful hardware. Still deciding between proxmox with a nas vm or direct install.
Do post your experience when your setup is complete.
Best of luck!

Still on a pi3b, haven't gotten around to making a NAS build unfortunately.

Pi3b -> Pi4 (4GB) -> x86 Mini PC Based NAS (current)
The underlying software setup remains the same (dietpi + OMV + dockers). Have added a couple of USB drives and running Mergerfs for filesystem.

The reason for moving to x86 was to allow for more simultaneous streams (locally and remote) plus some of the subtitle types needed transcoding which the Pi4 struggled at. That being said all of the media is being played as a "direct stream" with no AV transcoding.
