Moving off of heavy hardware (lemmy.world)

So I'm going to be getting a new housemate soon, and they will most likely take the room that's housing my dell r420 and rack. It's currently running proxmox and hosting a jellyfin instance that I and a few friends/family members are using.

I'd like to move the server to another area, but cooling and noise requirements are making this an issue. I was thinking about clustering a bunch or raspberry pi's that I have sitting around to try and come up with something like a replacement, but I can't get my head around moving my storage off local disk to a san that won't have a fibrechannel connection to my compute. Should I be looking at other SBC types, or should I just invest in renovating to build a new suitable spot for my hardware? What would you do?

EDIT: I'm hosting more than jellyfin, but this is the app I'm worried about - everything else can make do with a slower storage-compute connection.

A way to migrate to a smaller "instance" is by using a synology nas with enough bays. You could split them by using ssd hdd raids and dockerize all applications or even create vm on it
