I have a Pi 4B with 8 GB RAM and run Jellyfin plus some other stuff on it. Works great.
Had it first installed via repo but transcoding did not work at all. After switching to the Docker setup though, transcoding worked ok out of the box. Definitely takes a few seconds before the stream starts when having to transcode but no hiccups afterwards. Unless you jump around of course, and also I never had more than one stream trandcoding.


You are probably technically right about rsync, and I had used rdiff-backup for many years actually instead. But I do think there is a different use case for each, depending on what you are backing up.
E.g. if it is files that change a lot, like documents or other text files. Rdiff-backup will be better, keeping old versions of them automatically ready for restoring.
But if it concerns backing up music, videos and also images (unless you edit them but then you’d probably save a new file as well), there doesn’t seem to be much difference to rsync anymore. Those files do not change, so an incremental backup won’t really add any value.
