I have a 42TB raidz2-0 array, 1TB NVMe boot disk running nixos... its excessive but super reliable! I just wish I had a server rack chassis to put it in.

How much power does such a setup pull
Like 52W (8.8W * 6) peak for the disks. I use a mix of drives so I could be off by a few watts. I would like to measure the total draw, I tried to pick energy efficient parts and settings, but I don't really know what the end result actually is. One perk of my parts selection is that the loudest part of the whole machine is the disk array! Idk if that translates at all to power draw, but its a nice quality of life thing.
I had an old Arch laptop as my server for the longest time, and just set up a fresh Debian server with the *arr stack, qbittorrent, airsonic-advanced, calibre-web, and jellyfin - almost everything from LinuxServer.io. I used Cloudflare tunnels for the web-facing services and have the torrents running through AirVPN via gluetun. Everything is in docker containers run in separate users.
I feel like I learned a shit-ton doing this so if anyone has a computer sitting around and wants to try dipping their toes into self-hosting, hit me up. I have a bit of free time and am willing to walk you through it and answer questions at any pain points. I should maybe make a post in piracy offering the same.
After a few years I've ended up with Kodi and a bare minimum setup that keeps things as easy for me as possible. The biggest problem I have rn is that my usb HDD enclosures default to off after power loss.
Ain't nothing wrong with Kodi and some network share. It's what I started with and gave me the least frustration, Kodi is pretty solid at playing just about any old crap
God, I wish. I can't get my Optiplex to stay on so I can remote to it consistently. Even then, I struggle to get Docker working, even when I add my users to the docker group
Fuck I'm tagged
God forbid people have fun. They're supposed to be ascetic chuds because I, a Kubernetes professional, hate my job and thus they should too.
I feel like something about our society means that there is a lot of anxiety about relatively minor choices in our lives which means we feel like we have to justify them, which results in nerds believing that their hobby is something important enough to spiral over
