Private server

[Relle1 0]

I plan on buying this server:Server Package F includes 2 x Intel Xeon Processors with a total of 16 cores

32 GB of RAM (upgradable but this will be a great start)

First drive = 240GB for Windows installation

Second Drive = 1TB Sata

Third Drive = 1TB Sata

Raid Settings = Raid 1 for data protection

Are there instructions in the wiki on how to add my emby and devices to this server?

Hi ! Have you checked out our quick start guide?

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Quick%20start

 

You basically just install Emby Server on your new server machine and then you can access it from those other devices. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks !

How many devices can I add to a server like that?

It all depends on how many people are watching at the same time ..

Your 2nd and 3rd drives are way too small for any reasonable size library.

 

You should change to 8TB

 

Unless you have a seperate NAS as a datastore

and raid 1 is _not_ data protection.

Not using emby for TV shows and movies, but for the live TV and dvr application. I might store a few pre-recorded ppv, but that's about it. Does other users live tv recordings get stored on their devices and not the server?

[Luke 42077]

Recordings get saved on the server.

A VERY rough guide is a core per user.
