Server options for EMBY
Hi guys,
I'm currently looking for a server I can setup EMBY for around 200/300 users (estimated 100 concurrent).
4k transcoding is not required but would be good to have 1080p for some users if needed.
Basic requirements:
Location: EU
Bandwidth: 1Gbps Unmetered (potential to upgrade to 10Gbps)
Storage: Minimum 20TB (Storage box?)
Budget: Fairly open to any options. Don't mind paying a bit more if reliability is better.
Thanks in advance.

Useful would be how many concurrent people are you designing for? 200/300 users, but any estimated design?
For example, you might have really active 200/300 users meaning your server design should be beefier than what others would recommend.
Very good question, potentially 100 concurrent but a bit of an unknown at the moment.
You want to setup Emby? Do you need DMCA ignored servers?
Avoid transcoding as much as you can, because you will need a beefy server for that.
You could use one of Ikoula's (I)GPU servers for transcoding (https://www.ikoula.nl/nl/dedicated-server), and use a Hetzner storage box for storage (https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box)
It will get quite expensive though.
Speak with Andy10gbit https://andy10gbit.xyz. He's some what of a Plex/Emby expert. He should be able to guide you with the right server build and probably help out with software configuration as well.
Thank you guys, all very helpful!
