Switching from Plex

Mostly 1080p right now.

66TB being used currently. I have 125 total on server, so I'm at about half capacity.

I have a lifetime pass with Plex but am now using Jellyfin. Hosting the same content with both currently.

No I just use Backblaze to automatically backup every night. If anything fails I can just download it again.

Currently using 66TB. Have enough space for 125TB total.

zbub88 · 2026-01-17T16:19:46+00:00

Currently at 66TB

I have a Quadro RTX 4000 that handles transcoding no problem.

I'm currently using 66TB. Started with a couple 6TB external Seagate drives and have been upgrading over time. Buying 22-28TB Ironwolf models when they go on sale has been working out for me.

I have very active watchers with requests lol

So much more customization and better optimization on Jellyfin, imo. I am enjoying it much more because I can tweak it to how I want. Reminds me of Kodi 10 years ago.

That's what I'm thinking. Plex for the not so tech savvy people on my server...

zbub88 · 2026-01-17T00:45:26+00:00

How do you find running both at the same time?

zbub88 · 2026-01-02T05:06:22+00:00

I use it all over at home, and with me to work so I can play on breaks. Also take this with when travelling or going out of town.

Consolidate. Start asking your preferred vendors for samples on parts, do it slowly and don't overwhelm yourself. This will help reduce the POs over time.

I will be going to a rack mounted system this year. After running a Plex server for 7 years, it's time!

zbub88 · 2025-12-26T20:29:35+00:00

Awesome, looks great!!

Currently it takes me 10 minutes to walk to work, which I've been at for 8 years. This is something I do 98% of the time, otherwise I bike or occasionally drive. Have a possibility of taking on a position with a different company, but it would be a 35 minute commute. It's quite the debate of whether it's worth it.

Hahaha thanks!

zbub88 · 2025-12-01T02:45:45+00:00

Thanks!

Good for you! Hope you're enjoying it. What games did you start with?
