ezarr VS Saltbox

Yes. checkout out Ezarr

I run it on second hand pc build machine Ryzen 5 1500x & 16GB RAM with docker installed to run everything. Quite easy to get started with ezarr.

Im also doing the proxmox with an Ubuntu with docker arr stack. I just moved it to a Nuc11. https://github.com/Luctia/ezarr Is a good starting point for the docker set up. Then I added a vpn container for the qbittorrent to use, added overseerr, and homarr.

It sounds like you don't really understand what you are doing. There are lots of guides on youtube like TechnoDad and DBtech, but if I were you, I would just go with a script like this https://github.com/Luctia/ezarr or https://wiki.servarr.com/install-script

It's used to define your environment variables. There's a sample on the Git.

For me just using Ezarr was literally as easy as a few clicks: https://github.com/Luctia/ezarr

TL;DR: Made repo for entire docker stack with ez(arr) explanation without the headache people seem to have with Servarr and docker. Check it out.

saltbox

There is currently a Hetzner auction dedi with 4x16TB drives for €70. AFAIK, Hetzner would be the cheapest storage option, so even though it's not 70TB, at that price point you're pretty much stuck. You can rent one and install Saltbox or Swizzin yourself, it's pretty easy.

Lot of great suggestions in here. Sounds like you're looking into creating an in-house simplified version of https://github.com/saltyorg/Saltbox. Worth taking a look at what software they've got support for.

May I introduce you to https://github.com/saltyorg/Saltbox ?

https://docs.saltbox.dev or https://cloudbox.works

Pair one of those Hetzner boxes with this sweet project and you're laughing. There's really not much I can think of that Saltbox doesn't include. The only downside for some, is it strictly managed via commend line and doesn't have any sort of actual UI. But besides that, you can literally deploy a fully customized media server for streaming and downloading torrents/nzbs as well as hosting all your apps in very little time at all. Their discord community is awesome as well, alot of knowledgable folks there when/if you run into issues and/or have questions.

For example I want to setup a media server for plex and I can’t decide if cloud or a physical one would be cheaper or easier to maintain. Saltbox (https://docs.saltbox.dev/) looks like what I’m looking for it is a script you run that installs and configures everything, you get unlimited storage and can stream from the cloud to your device. But they are vague on a simple matrix of what providers and configurations for different cloud providers people use and more importantly pricing. They say no VPS others say a VPS is fine. Oddly while it looks really up to date and in GitHub and the installation is well documented I can’t tell what’s a setup for data hoarder vs common user. I searched all afternoon on Reddit with little mention of this and I’m guessing there’s a community somewhere who could guide me. I also want CNN, ESPN, FS1 for sports and don’t know if there’s live providers or I should just get cable. Then we’re talking my total bill goes back up to $250.) when I was a kid I watched everything I could get my hands on and paying for all the services for one show once a year is somehow worse than we had big cable bills. I’m sure they’re forums that can help or even things off reddit but I feel this common thing people do would be too greyish illegal for one and second not sticking to mefi rules and just saying “look here it’s kinda of a hidden place” would work.
