Harder than plex to set up, but not difficult.
If you want to watch outside the network then you’ll need to port forward.
Or reverse proxy, but that’s a bit more complex

So if you want to watch outside you’re home network, the solution is to blow a hole through your firewall and just raw dog the internet through it? Air out your delicious little jelly hole for the world to see?
I wonder how we teach the kids about VPNs? Clearly their favorite brainrot youchubers/twitchies/tiktogglers nordvpn ads aren’t getting through…

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?
Netflix premium (4k) is like $7.35/month. But HDDs are not comparatively cheaper.

Nowadays that could just be an external drive bay with a few HDDs + ZFS.
Or if you just want to rawdog it with no redundancy they make single hard drives with 20 TB capacity now.
This is what I do, 2 different speced 20 TB drives. One NAS speced drive that’s actually installed in the PC, and one budget drive that’s in an external enclosure and is periodically used for back up. No need to be fancy.

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.

Hmm curious, what’s the cost for something like that? Do you also encrypt / employ any security for the data?

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

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.

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.

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.
