So my plex server among many other things its running has been on a 3,1 mac pro running open core with 10.13 OSX for a LONG time. Im trying to phase out from it. I ran it mainly cause as a young teen I DREAMED of the old cheese grater mac pros so bought one for 60 bucks used in 2019. And honestly for the price its been great!.
But power draw, heat, noise etc are just awful.
Anyways I have mostly always used it by remote access from my main rig using team viewer. Its been offline for 2 years almost and got it all set back up today and tried and I can no longer remote in with team viewer as the version on the mac pro is outdated. I cant update it without Installing a new version of OSX. Which I am not doing any of the crazyness right now lol I tried rust and also cant download. Nreds 10.14 at minimum. Tried Google chrome remote. And it downloads and installs. But no matter what I do on the Mac end it just says it still needs to be installed.
SO does anyone know of anyway to remote in on an older outdated device??.
Also im running about 80TB inside and want to switch over to a new machine. Probably running windows. But all the drives are formated for OSX. Im guessing the only real way is to buy some large new 18tb drives and slowly transfer everything over and then reformat the old disks once they are empty?.
