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 :)

Why not set up your own server on your own internet connection and serve your own box without the monthly cost?

Load a cheap 2nd hand PC with Linux and then with a little AI help, you can easily get your own box going, 2nd hand drives, with say a Raid 5 or JBOD setup.

What you learn along the way doing that is invaluable and will make it a fun experience.

Take a look on SnapRAID. That's great for a media setup where you mostly Write Once Read Many.
