My total cost for the VPS that runs my stack, plus the Hetzner storage box is around $50 USD/mo.
I have the storage box mounted as an encrypted volume using rclone.
Got ya, thanks for the reply! Ive got 2x8tb for 16tb total and thats worked for me for years. The drives are getting old and I’ve been worried about the data. Checking out other drives but it would be nice to just… not deal with hardware. Is there any upload / download rates?

Self-hosting is pretty cool. I want to buy a nas
the best nas is the grimiest most disgusting computer you already own, filled to the brim with hard drives and shoved in the basement to slave away at media consumption and file sharing

You got to learn how to shuck those Western digital drives when they go on sale.
Shucking drives? What part of JBOD did you not understand. Half of them don’t even fit in the case, they are just piled up on top of each other.

You really shouldn’t port forward Jellyfin. Hell, you really shouldn’t port forward anything. A domain is like a dollar per month. Use a reverse proxy with some sort of login gate like Authentik or Authelia.
Just use a tunneling service like tailscale. Easy as fug to set up, and only people who know your credentials can poke about in your server.
If you remember to disconnect machines other than the server from the VPN when not using them and don’t share out the server too much, you don’t even have to spend money.

setting up a small jellyfin server for my family instead of getting 32402398423948 subs to shitty streaming companies was the best thing i did

I do a 6 drive synology btrfs with double redundancy with WD ultrastar 14TB for about 50TB storage after accounting for all overhead.

Netflix premium (4k) is like $7.35/month. But HDDs are not comparatively cheaper.
Uh idk where you got that but in the us market 7.99 gets you standard with ads, the 4k tier is 25 dollars a month.

Is Netflix 4k bitrate of comparable quality to uh, say a ripped bluray?
Does that Netflix sub have ads?
Genuine questions, I don’t know.
You could also try to factor in the uh, cost of internet and datacaps and all that.
Could probably save some money in the long run, though thats gonna vary a lot by location and use case and I guess income/wealth situation, household size, all that.

I’ll show you how hard my drives are.

Mine is literally that, an HP Z600 from 2006. It needs new RAM and probably a processor upgrade, but it’s working pretty well for now, so I’ll get to it “eventually”

You don’t even need to remember to disconnect machines you can have a 100 different clients(is that the right word?) on a tailnet. Honestly it’s so sick and amazing it’s free

How do people have so much money to buy so much storage?
The real question is:
How do people have so much media to fill up those drives?
Followed by: how do people have so much time to watch that media?
Followed by: human driven climate change is real. How can people waste energy just to hoard media that they rarely ever see again?
I understand somehow if you are torrenting and contributing to the sharing ecosystem, but just hoarding?

BluRays are obviously better. I was just saying that not subscribing to Netflix is America will save a lot more than not subscribing in India. But the storage cost is very similar.
No, that sub does not have ads. There is, however a mobile only, 480p, subscription too, for less than 3 USD.

Uh idk where you got that but in the us market 7.99 gets you standard with ads, the 4k tier is 25 dollars a month.
India has cheaper subscriptions. The lowest tier, 480p is 170 INR, which is about 3 USD.

4 x 5 TB internal HDDs costs roughly $500.
Thats roughly a Switch 2 or Steam Deck…
… or about $42 a month, for a year, of maybe what, 2 simultaneous subscription services?
You don’t even need to get new drives to begin, just use what you probably already have lying around, old external hard drives. Use a RAID and swap drives as they fail.

afaik (and I might be super wrong) you can have up to 100 machines IN the network, but only 3 connected at any given time in the free plan.
But yes, it’s sick and amazing either way.
