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!

He specifically mentioned huge storage, I'm guessing that you have less than 100GB for that price. Also he mentioned ARR stack, I wouldn't host that on a VPS.

Why are the ARR a bad idea for a VPS?

Yeah storage suck on mine but you can get a seed box for storage and run the apps in the VPS. But that's another subscription.

I wouldn't perform illegal actions on a VPS, I know people do it, but it's like the difference from smoking pot inside your house or in a hotel (it's just as illegal in either, but one of them has a manager and staff whose job is to monitor the place and that can report you)
