Toot

okay I THINK! I have an idea on how to handle this totally not convoluted setup.

• Optiplex Micro fleet to be. well, the Optiplex Micro fleet. anything local doesn't care for memory, anything for friends in a serious manner has ECC.

• Proxmox Backup Server running on something like this. Compact, fair amount of storage, should be more than enough to handle backing shit up & syncing said backups to B2. Will have ECC Unbuffered memory.

• Something like this to handle Restreamer locally (I'd use a Zen 3 unit but worse hardware encode on those). I'd stream AV1 straight too it, and it'd do three things: save that high-quality AV1 stream locally (to a networked file share?), transcode that AV1 into a Twitch-friendly stream, and send both that Twitch-friendly stream and a higher quality one to an Owncast VPS.

• I'd upload that recording that Restreamer saved to a network file share to YouTube for VOD purposes (to avoid storing shit on my own Owncast or Peertube instance & dealing with outbound traffic).

Odds are I'll just forgo the Owncast side of things since that's complexity and the only benefit it really offers is "there is a way to watch that Avoids Twitch". It is tempting to still have a Restreamer box, but I might make it 12th-fen Intel based instead for better hardware transcoding across the board, since AMD's is still kinda bleh when it comes to real-time work.

But the Optiplex Micro fleet & Proxmox Backup Server specs are more or less what I'm thinking. If I could run a reverse proxy on that thing too I would, but I feel like that's getting into the weeds of setup and shit.

(An option is to forgo PBS entirely and have that box basically be a glorified network drive with a reverse proxy that only the homelab stuff & my desktop get direct access to, and have each relevant Proxmox VE handle shit directly, but that also means they have to handle All Of It directly, instead of letting PBS handle the grunt work)
