The adventure goes on, now running on a dedicated home server (and no longer on my desktop which is off half the time). I've been wanting to get a home server for a long time but never felt like the investment in the hardware was worth it. Jellyfin changed that and I'm so excited to see what this server can be used for. For now it's only a media server, but that will change very soon. Maybe , , ...

(It's running btw)

@thomy2000 what are you using for bulk storage? I set up a jellyfin too but only have a random external hard drive currently as storage. I need to set up something more permenant/robust

@Snozzedandlost Storage was the biggest cost. I got a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD (Pro because it has DRAM). The 2TB will be enough for quite some time, and I use btrfs compression to help save some space. I wanted something non-mechanical as I need the server to be as reliable as possible. I don't want to deal with troubleshooting performance/reliability problems caused by HDDs. I bet any modern SSD would be OK, or even a HDD if you have a SSD to boot/run off of.
