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:

  • Plex server make/model
  • CPU and GPU info
  • Storage solution info
  • Plex add-on info (Radarr, Sonarr, Docker, etc.)
  • other configuration info

Anyone who posts good starter guides, FAQs, and/or wikis may get their links added to the sidebar so the rest of the community can benefit!

Cheers!

    I have the Plex Docker container running on Unraid. The plex container has its own WD Blue NVMe for storage.

    CPU: i3-9100 (Quicksync Enabled) RAM: 32GB DDR4 ECC Motherboard: Dell Precision 3630 Motherboard Storage: around 80TB using Unraid with 1 parity disk

    Seems to work reasonably well for our 8 users, and all things considered was relatively cheap for hardware other than disks, which I got most of from the ServerBuilds forum group buy awhile back.

    I moved to this from a dual Xeon setup in order to lower power consumption and enable quick sync. The dell motherboard works well but does require jumpers on some pins to boot that seems to be a craps shoot on eBay whether they are included or not, as well as a proprietary power button unless you’re okay with ignoring a boot warning.
