Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

It won't make streaming slower unless you have multiple clients streaming, as in several.
I find the network to be the bottleneck - my gigabit network connection saturates with 3 streams, and I'm using a conventional hard drive for my media (OS is on an M2 drive). This doesn't seem to affect the video quality though.
Frankly SSD is overrated for common stuff, there are other bottlenecks that usually hit us first, such as network or processing.
As you build out, make sure you consider backup in your costs, don't spend your money just on storage.
Also, since you have a mini there may only be room for one drive internally and almost no cooling. Larger drives will have issues with heat.
