So a friend set me up with some resources. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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 just run on two mini PCs.

One running OPNsense, fanless N5105, 4x 2.5Gb, it doesn't need much disk or memory but at the time it was a negligible additional cost to go to 16GB and 500GB.

The other is running Proxmox, on a Ryzen 7 7840HS, 96GB RAM, 500GB SSD, and with two 5TB USB HDDs plugged in (rotated with a third that I keep at a friend's place as a cheap but fit for purpose offsite backup).

It's just them plus a managed 2.5Gb switch and a couple of wifi routers in AP-only mode. It costs very little to run power-wise and is more than enough grunt for my needs.
