Next step on my self-hosting journey (feddit.dk)

Hello everyone.

Well, I’m here to ask for your insights and knowledge.

I have been self-hosting for almost a year already. Mainly proving things like Jellyfin, jellyseer and all the ARRs. All of this with a modest Raspberry Pi 4b using DietPi OS (which I think is great!)

Now, I want to move to the next stage, acquiring a more powerful machine.

What do you recommend for:

A) Mini PC. I want it to fast and with a huge storage (being able to increase it easily) B) SSD or HDD. Which ones. C) Operative System. I would like to stay on Linux.

Any other recommendations?

Finally, I have an adjusted budget, but pretend to save a bit more to have something nice :)

Thanks!

I was looking into Unraid OS, and it seems nice, and as you, I want to keep far away from subscriptions as much as possible.

My doubt with HDD is their speed, high noise and energy consumption.

Thanks for answering.

Dont worry about speed, HDD is fine for media storage. Power consumption and noise is what you should worry about 😉 get small SSD for OS since they are cheap

Yeah, but it's the storage capacity that is interesting. If you don't need a lot of storage, go to the NVME/SSD option for sure. If you need more, price/capacity is still on the HDD side.
