Actually I do have an M1 Mac Mini - what's his setup? Maybe my problem is that MacOS doesn't feel as friendly for getting an entire homeland setup.

He runs Jellyfin straight up from the downloads page [1]. I'm not entirely sure if it runs on Rosetta but he hasn't had any issues with multiple streams. For storage you have a couple options but enabling file sharing on macos + a large drive of your choice is your best bet.

It’ll run through docker surely? A nice docker compose media server is a beautiful thing to behold.

I use a Nuc but the Mac mini would be a great server (though costs a lot).

If anyone wants to try this, be wary of transcode acceleration / HW passthru with Docker, esp on M1/M2. In general I’d love it if there was a GUI-less stripped-down MacOS Server edition instead of running the full-fat consumer OS as an always-on server.

What is there to be wary of? It won't work at all?
