Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

My low cost solution has been adding external mechanical disks. Those go up to several TB for cheap, so I put two and sync them with rsync weekly in case one suddenly fails.
As others have wisely said, keep the fast SSD for your OS, media rarely changes and is usually accessed sequentially, it can live in slower disks.
Yes, the consensus here seems to be that for media it is fine to choose a HDD. Won't it make streaming from Jellyfin slower?
My small low power self built NAS has HDDs for Jellyfin and no problems at all. Just a simple straight forward RAID1 created from countless online tutorials. Feel free to ask or contact me if you wanna know more of the software setup things.
Thanks for sharing that writeup, this is useful info for the building it myself route
