After 14 years with Plex, I finally moved my video library to Jellyfin. Why rising costs, feature restrictions and digital ownership pushed me towards FOSS.
40TB, but that’s way more than I would realistically need if I was better about deleting old content. I have shows saved that I haven’t watched in years. With the *arr stack, there is very little reason to keep a lot of media saved, because reacquiring it again in the future is dead simple.
I have about 35TB. The movies are the hardest for me as it’s nice to have lots of options without having to download. With a show, it’s easier to make a decision to grab a season. Movies choices are more spontaneous
I just setup the ARR stack and you can use a docker compose file to manage all the services.
Then you need to create individual account for the services but that is straight forward.

Just resist the urge to download everything at max quality. Some movies don’t need to be 4k, HD is enough.
I really only do certain movies in 4k. Jellyfin says there’s about 48 hundred movies
40TB is wild.
My plan is to pile a bit of money and try to buy used lots of HDD and test them for health and create a JBOD storage.
Do docker files handle all the setup of these or do I have to learn stuff?
