Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I’ve never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it’s bit of a stupid question.
Some things that haven’t been proposed here might be to use it as a nas. If you want to access your films and shows from outside it’s easier to set up Plex instead of jellyfin for now. You can use it also as a steam machine streaming from the pc to the tv, or as Kodi/Libreelec mediacenter to make your tv smart
Raspberry Pi NAS is fun but barely usable, not to mention Plex/Jellyfin.
If you do this, whatever you do make sure at the very least you get NAS-grade hard drives. But preferably, use some sort of RAID system as well.
I just lost years worth of data because I used a consumer external HDD as my NAS drive connected to my RPi, and I’m not sure yet if I’ll be able to get it back.
