Some context: my friend has an absolute monster of a machine at his place. He went from 'I have an old computer for plex' to like... a giant rack that we all had to make a special trip for to move as a group when he moved into his new place over like 10 years.

It always seemed kinda cool that he had this setup but kind of, I don't know, overkill?

Anyway, I got to talking with him recently about how annoying it was to move books from my storage drive to my reader and he offered to set up a server for me to use. So I spent an afternoon setting up a book download-to-hosted pipeline, and then I realized my manga doesn't really play well with Calibre-Web, so I added a Komga container. But then I wanted something to sort them so I could just dump all the files in the same place and just have them sent to where they needed to be, but I wanted to make sure that it could handle audiobooks, and video too, because Jellyfin sounds kinda cool and it would be nice to have an organized Anime archive somewhere.

I guess I just mean that I understand it now. My friend is being super generous at the moment, but he's already sending me links for some starter hardware that I can build out once I can set aside a little more money for it. I'm so pumped to see what else is out there.

So uh... what are y'all's setups like? :3

I've got a UGreen NAS for media hosting, and I've been loading it up with Blu Rays and DVDs for the past few weeks to stream via Jellyfin. Going alphabetically, I've now made it to the letter J in my library, with 54 movies and 407 episodes of TV ripped so far. I have a tiny comic collection that I started playing with in Komga just yesterday. I intend to scale up slightly, with all of my other self hosting needs handled by a mini PC, which should be enough, that I can retire from its gaming use cases when the Steam Machine comes out. I'm trying to figure out all of the pieces I need in order to safely expose that to the internet for my friends without the use of something like Tailscale. When I started, it was like that Simpsons gag where Homer went from reading Advanced Marketing to Beginner Marketing to looking up the definition in the dictionary. But after about 50 YouTube videos all explaining the same concepts slightly differently between them, it's starting to click.
