Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Don't know which country you live in but $160 for a 14 TB HDD is a good price. It's been a while since I lived in North America, but from memory this is a good price for US/Canada.
One general tip for saving space is to get x265/HEVC content, as it tends to be most space efficient on both an absolute and a "quality per GB basis" (some caveats of course, but I digress). That being said you may want to make sure all your clients support x265 (I prefer to simply never have to transcode and have all clients support Xvid/x264/x265 and all major audio formats).
Hell, a 12TB WD red Plus in the EU is 300€. $160 for a 14TB is absolute dirt cheap
