I host a media server of 72TB of classic movies, cancelled TV shows you can't get on streaming plus new shows and movies as well. I do this for family and friends who don't have the patience or know how to run a media server this size. I have a catalog of over 7k movies and 400 TV shows. I am likely the only use case for this. However I do appreciate it.
For someone's personal use I usually suggest jellyfin.
Hey uh, its me, your distant cousin from Boston!
My friend has a 5gbps fiber line in their home and also hosts some 30TB+ of content for friends & family. It's easy to use. It is quite nice.
Oh my lord can we be friends?
But I don't have any Photos
I thought I had a decent library. I'm sitting at 5tb. I feel like I built a house and you're over here with a mansion. Lol
I've only dabbled in Plex, but Im kinda confused about the hate for this. Isn't the whole point to be able to more easily browse and use a large media library (esspecially for something like a shared library)? This seems like its useful to that purpose.
If you already know your catalog and what you want to watch, it adds two to three more steps to watching that media.
If you don't know your catalog or feel like browsing it's very good for that. Most the people that self host fall into that first group.
There are dozens of us
You too are a never nude?
I didn’t see you at the convention
