I always CTLR + F these threads for Jellyfin, because most people I know use Plex and don't even know Jellyfin. Are you happy with it? I've been using it for like half a year now and am pretty satisfied.

I have a RaspberryPi Model 3 B+ with 2x 2TB HDDs running in RAID1.

It currently runs PiHole and Jellyfin (a media server).

Next on the list is to get a docker container to run qbittorrent + vpn, so I don't have to transfer the files across to my server from my main PC.

I'd also like to open up my file server with friends and family but not sure on the approach just yet...

A fairly compared to some of the others. I used to run more but have reduced it a little.

  Hardware
    An HP Miniserver Gen7 with just 4GB of RAM
    120GB SSD for OS
    4 Disks (3,4,4 and 6 TB) No RAID
    4 External Disks to match the above for backup

  Software
    NFS for File Sharing
    sftp server for restic backups (also backing up to B2)
    KVM with 1 VM with prometheus and Grafana

  VM In Cloud
    postfix, rspamd, dovecot, mailman for email
    apache/mysql with various website
Planning to add a recycled desktop as an extra server soon

    Wireguard
    Some more VMs for developing a website project
    Moved Prometheus, grafana

> Pi-hole on 2 Raspberry Pi 4s Is this for redundancy? How does this work?

pi-hole is at it's heart a recursive dns server, so you run two of them and advertise both in your dhcp(or put them in manually if you roll staticly)

Navidrome is my favorite, by far. It's like a personal Spotify. It also has built-in subsonic support. Syncthing is another I could not live without. All devices upload to my server and my server gets backed up to S3/backblaze type service. Plex for movies. But I may look at Jellyfin soon. I use Calibre-web, but it's really not my favorite. Okular is so much better. And Calibre is a chore to use and overkill for my n…

I do use Plex for music as well, and I am quite happy with it. I don't know Navidrome, but I was wondering what made you choose it over Plex for music?

Reading this thread, someone needs to put the home server in a tiny box, preinstalled with all the apps and put a slick user interface on it. I think https://umbrel.com is a thing but it's not packaged with hardware. Something that packages the hardware and software together would be pretty killer. Plug and play. Instant email. All the apps. Easy migration from existing services.

Part of the fun for me is the tinkering, and I'm not sure if non-techies "get" the benefit of running a home server. Maybe the tide is turning for the younger generation? I can only speak for most people my age (30-40), they are capable of interacting with technology but they have absolutely 0 understanding of how anything actually works.

"Why when I can just use Spotify/Netflix/iCloud/etc"? Is the answer I got when telling them about my own home server shiz

Yunohost ? Then put a sticker on a random box and your done.

Seriously, it does most of what you describe : good UI. Excellent user management between apps. Great catalogue ( 500+ all tested with different level of integration)

Synology NAS products (using their quickconnect service) get pretty close to this. You have to install their apps from an App Store but that feels reasonable for even the average consumer.
