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!

Two or more ssds, the biggest you can afford, on a j-bod USB3 or USB-C enclosure. Raid them together on Linux software raid. As hardware, I use a power horse laptop, its more practical, but I had it spare. Buy a nice compromise between CPU power and power comsumpion, that depends on your feelings.

And use Gentoo :)

I have documented most of my steps here https://wiki.gardiol.org

In what fucking world are you living
