Hello, i want to get into the self hosting game and have some questions about it. I hope that this community may help me (i already learnt so much by reading posts in this community).
- I want to self host an NAS and some home server applications like Immich, Homeassistant, Jellyfin and parts of the *Arr stack. Would it be advisable to get a mini-PC and a separate NAS or can i put this on the same appliance together? Was thinking about getting a NAS from Terramaster and i am not sure if i need a separate mini PC.
- If i would go with the all in one solution, would TrueNAS Scale be enough? I saw some recommendations to get Promox and run TrueNAS Scale for the NAS management and Promox container for everything else.
- If i would go with the separate solutions how would i handle seeding? Since the mini-PC would run the *Arr Suite with qBittorrent would it be able to download directly to the NAS and hardlink the stuff there or would seeding require two copies, one on the mini-pc and another one on the NAS?
I hope my problems are clear, i tried searching for it but did not find a satisfying answer, which is why i am asking here. Thanks in advance
Yeah I’m still debating over Usenet vs. Torrents, but Torrents seem better for some old stuff. And I am a bit off put by the mention that there are some Usenet groups that are kinda secretive and special and hard to get access to. I mean there is kinda the same with private trackers but at least they seem a bit more transparent about it.
You can just use both. I do.
Use both.
I use both, and I’ve found Usenet to be significantly better for old content. Not even close.
Ahh okay, nice to hear. I will think about using both.
