Yeah this would do the trick. I have a simple yt-dlp script setup that is set as a cron job. Everyday at 4:30 AM it checks a list of YouTube channels I have and downloads any new videos that channel has to a corresponding media directory that jellyfin has access to, keeping that channels content up to date.

This lets me easily set and forget my script, so now whenever I want to watch that channels video I can just open jellyfin, which stores all my media, not just YouTube, and view it from there.

It does eat up storage though on big channels, but if you got the space it’s not a big issue.

Oh that’s exactly what I got. Currently I got 16gb of RAM in mine, but I do plan on swapping to 64gb soon. I put a 2.5” SSD in mine, and it also has one spot for a m2 drive.

I have proxmox running on mine with several containers running. Jellyseer, jellyfin, radar, sonar, bazar, qbittorrent, watchtower, and gluetun (all running in an Ubuntu server with docker). I also have an lxc container with pihole running on it, though it’s just my backup for that. Lastly I have a Win10 VM that I use for software that doesn’t play nicely with the rest of my devices.

It’s a great little box, mines the micro version and its served me well for 6 months now. All this with just 16gb of ram has been wonderful.
