We make tiny Linux servers packed with real devops tools (but also sporting a somewhat-easy-ish-to-use UI) for home-hosting and self-teaching: https://pibox.io - works great with Jellyfin!

Two big 'ole thumbs up for Kubesail and the Pibox! Been running mine since November of 2022 and it's great. As a complete novice I was able to self-host Jellyfin, Bitwarden, Nextcloud, Resilio Sync, and Flatnotes pretty much all in a few minutes. The Pibox is great, and the folks at Kubesail are wonderful.

I'll look into purchasing one. My Jellyfin system drive failed on an old Dell Optiplex. I just need to replace and re-image the hdd, but this looks fun. Is it well ventilated?

It does have a small noctua fan which is usually overkill, and several users have added low profile heatsinks. I don’t have any heat problems and mine are stacked in a big pile :P

MAJOR two thumbs up on this one - the pibox is a very cool product, great for learning, easy to deploy on, and powerful enough for smaller tasks. the Kubesail folks are responsive (both in email and on their Discord server). Couldn't be happier!
