Only use jellyfin. Have a list of things want to update… but it works for now.
Yes that is a laptop usb cooler used as supplemental placebo cooling. Also a pc fan I have propped up against the hard drive feeding into the pi.
Can’t recall last time used the ps4 or switch. But they’re there
Wait so you have like rack mounted server but only run jellyfin? Am I missing something here ?
There’s no rack mount server there. I see a UPS, switch (network and Nintendo varieties), PS4 and mini PC
My bad. I’m so dumb that I see a shelf UPS and I assume this is some advanced network shit. I have an old gaming pc and a mini pc as 2 nodes in my home network.
This table rack was the most space savey option i could find. It looks less stable than it is. It is super minimal as far as the actual self hosting stuff goes.
Room to expand eventually.
I had the same thought - an entire 8U rack to hold a single raspberry pi with an external drive?
There’s no rules here
Come on guys, that’s a whole 8TB.
What would be wrong with that?
I considered it pretty heavy equipment for just a single service but that’s coming from my experience running like 8 vms on an old gaming pc and tearing my hair out over how janky it all looks (it works fantastically for me tho)
I guess it depends on your library size and how many users you are serving. My plex server has a library of over 110 TB and over 60 users, so to me a rack mount server for Jellyfin alone doesn’t sound overkill at all
Damn how does one amass 60 users? That’s a big ass family
About a third of it is friends of mine, the rest is family and extended family
Its a rack mounted rack without the server.
