I appreciate it. I'm trying to get familiar with rss and the sort. I am just a bit scared of the rabbit hole where I'll end up dedicating a whole room of the house to selfhosting lol
I've dedicated one single machine to self hosting and I never plan on increasing that. It's just one big beefy hunk that has a shitty CPU and lots of RAM and HDD space.
Sonarr/Radarr/qBit/Plex is all that's needed. I pay $5/mo ($15/3mo) for AirVPN and that's all.
You got any tutorials for that? I've been interested in setting something like that up for my own media library but just haven't gotten around to it. Might make for a fun weekend project.
Snag you a micropc from Amazon for like $150 and an external HDD and you'll be golden. Selfhosting can be as small as you want.
Hell sometimes I wish I had a tiny PC and a couple of 18tb externals.
I use a old laptop with a 3rd gen Intel processor, probably worth less than $30 right now, with straight debian headless and it works like a charm organizing and streaming. I just avoid transcoding wherever possible.
