Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I’ve never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it’s bit of a stupid question.

    Some things that haven’t been proposed here might be to use it as a nas. If you want to access your films and shows from outside it’s easier to set up Plex instead of jellyfin for now. You can use it also as a steam machine streaming from the pc to the tv, or as Kodi/Libreelec mediacenter to make your tv smart

      use it as a nas

      If you do this, whatever you do make sure at the very least you get NAS-grade hard drives. But preferably, use some sort of RAID system as well.

      I just lost years worth of data because I used a consumer external HDD as my NAS drive connected to my RPi, and I’m not sure yet if I’ll be able to get it back.

        Even with enterprise grade and RAID set up, some sort of backup would help.

        Restic with backblaze is easy enough to set. I personally use this and an encrypted external HDD.
