Hardware requirements

[superuser-does]

What are the system hardware requirements for YouTarr? I would like an idea of how powerful my box needs to be to run it, for different numbers of users (starting with just me but may expand to a little under 10).

Shouldn't you ask about the system requirements for plex/jellyfin? I don't think youtarr is very resource hungry, it'll download 1 video at a time. Playing 10 simultaneous streams is something that plex and jellyfin should be able to handle, but I'm not sure what the system requirements should be for that.

I already where they are as I run Jellyfin. I have an N100 mini PC where I host everything and it's at about 50% memory use at all times now, so just want a sense of what impact this would have. I currently use Pinchflat but open to switching if the memory use (and to a lesser extent CPU) are reasonable.

It's basically like Pinchflat in terms of resource usage. You'll be fine.

4 GB RAM and 2–4 CPU cores recommended. No GPU is required. Storage capacity, disk performance and network speed will usually matter more than CPU power or RAM.

Honestly though I run it on a server that is also running so many other things already: Plex, Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, Seerr, etc etc... I don't think Youtarr will be your limiting factor.
