I am looking to self host my own media server (Jellyfin), a personal page and something more in the future and I need to choose my server hardware. I have decided on buying a single board computer to save on energy, space and, perhaps, cost.

Jellyfin docs recommend a computer with a Rockchip RK3588 / RK3588S processor. I would also need ethernet, USB for external storage, at least 4GB of RAM and maybe a M.2 slot for the OS and more space.

I know about Armsom and OrangePi, are they any good?

My budget would be up to 150 euros and I live in the Netherlands. Any suggestions?

    I found a second hand box near me with Intel Celeron J4025 for 50eur. No disk and RAM (will buy myself). Would the processor be good enough? How is the price?

      J4025 is good, I actually bought this exact model last year for 75€ with 120GB SSD and 8GB of RAM. Prices have went up since and I don’t live in the Netherlands which can be expensive. So all in all not a bad deal I would say.
