I setup a Plex server with all the Arr's and it took me maybe 1 hour and about $1500 in hardware such as a desktop PC and 4 x 10TB drives. Then I had to pay for a News Servers service ($100 for 15 months) and I opted to purchase a domain for like $7/year. Quite the upfront cost but easy to setup and maintain and I can watch anything I want with the best possible experience possible. If my internet goes down? I can still watch everything. When my News Servers subscription runs out, I still keep everything I have and can watch it as many times as I want. It's so simple to use, my wife who LOVES TV now prefers 'on demand'.

All thanks to the greedy fuckers running literally every streaming service.

for anyone afraid of the upfront cost: you don't need to buy so many expensive hard disk drives to self host a media server like Jellyfin/Plex
RAID arrays add complexity and get expensive very fast while not being a proper backup solution at all, it's nice to have but not required

on a budget buying a large hard disk drive (12~16 TB is a good sweet spot right now) and later down the road another one as periodic backup solution might be the wiser choice while accumulating your collection of media

Raid is exactly as much or as little of a proper backup solution as you configure it to be isnt it?

It basically only protects against hardware failure. It's not going to protect you from ransomware or even just accidentally clicking delete.

Thanks. I was misunderstanding concepts here in a big way
