So, he said "media box," which I assumed meant the client that |
| 18 |
attaches to the TV. There are some canned solutions for media servers |
| 19 |
- I think the NVidia Shield can run Plex server for example. However, |
| 20 |
in general server-side I'd go amd64. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
My current solution is: |
| 23 |
1. Moosefs for storage: amd64 container for the master, and ARM SBCs |
| 24 |
for the chunkservers which host all the USB3 hard drives. With a |
| 25 |
modest number of them performance is very good, though certainly not |
| 26 |
as good as Ceph or local storage. (I do have moosefs in my overlay - |
| 27 |
might try to get that into the main repo when I get a chance.) |
| 28 |
2. Plex server in a container on amd64 (looking to migrate this to k8s |
| 29 |
over the holiday). |
| 30 |
3. Rokus or TV apps for the clients. |
