I’ll join the community for sure. I have ok experience with Linux as a DevOps engineer. I only have a Linux laptop for work though. Would need to get something else going for it.
My first homelab running servarr was just an old optiplex I bought off ebay. Now its been moved to an old gaming pc lol. I run it for my household and about 5 other friends and haven’t seen much in the way of performance issues that can’t be explained/mitigated. So you certainly don’t need a ton of power. Mainly just storage.
I use overseerr for TV/movie requests since I can stand it up behind a reverse proxy easily and Its a much nicer interface. For content I use Plex/Jellyfin. Users decide which they like to use.

What do you do for remote access for your friends?
