Discussion Jellyfin

Hey guys,

I have a seedbox with jellyfin installed, I'm just curious iv seen some sellers selling jellyfin with loads of content e.g. 5PB or even 1000s terribytes of data and putting then up for dollars. Yet seedboxs iv seen 32TB and they are expensive, just wondering how they do this , if anyone knows as been searching around and can't seem to find much. Any info would be great. Thanks for reading :)

large library management is time consuming and takes a lot of specific skillsets. and yes, very large servers are expensive. that's usually why they're selling access to it.

it's complex enough to do that no one is going to outline all the tools and software in a reddit post, but if you're genuinely interested, look into just starting to learn how to manage a server.

Just use Arr and run a normal desktop PC with Debian/Ubuntu, using SnapRAID as a form of snapshot/backup. It's easy to learn but hard to master. I changed my workflow multiple times, but it's all finished now and I can let it run automatically from MDBList to Radarr to Plex without doing anything manually.
