Storage solutions
For someone who wants to maintain a library of movies, I see the first two links in movies megathread total to 34TB worth of content.
What type of storage solutions do you folks use or recommend for large movie collections like this?
Do you have server racks? Which ones would you recommend?

I think most people who have a large collection of movies have a NAS to store everything. I built mine with leftover PC parts after upgrading my main PC. Started by just throwing some extra hard drives into my old case, then incrementally upgraded it with used server parts from ebay, bigger hard drives, etc.
You'll typically want to use something like Plex or Jellyfin to serve the movies to whatever devices you're watching on. Then you'll get into docker and the Radarr/Sonarr/*arr stack...

If you're not comfortable with Linux and just want something configurable via a WebUI, OpenMediaVault is a good starting point.
Been sporting the 2017 version for ages. Snapraid / mergerfs and a bunch of drives
Docker compose on top of that with most of the arr's and overseerr.
Good times.
