  Wow, yeah this looks great. 16GB/512GB for under $200 makes this a frontrunner for now. Outside of Jellyfin, what else do you run, and how do you have it containerized? I’m inching closer to Proxmox vs Docker due to issues brought up in other comments.

    Also running Calibre, Syncthing, Transmission and Filen. all on Linux Mint.

    I can’t cope with TUI-only OS’s - the command stuff makes no sense to me at all. I’ve learned some of it, and am trying to get Nextcloud running in Docker behind Nginx Proxy Manager, but I can’t work out DDNS yet so… 😂

    I was keen on Proxmox or Yunohost, but put off by the fact that they totally replace the OS. I’d be more comfortable with something that runs on the OS, like Docker does.

      I know some of those words, but with that said, thank you for those ideas! That’s a lot more complicated than I was planning, but you gave me fodder for buying a beefier NUC! I think I’m close to settling with an n97 unit that has dual LAN for Pihole and such.

      Would you know of any guides or such to set something as complex as what you’ve going, or was it more just time and tinkering? I’m still wrestling with which VM setup to use, but at least Mint was on my shortlist for OS choice.

        My non-profit the Rebel Tech Alliance is working on a series of blog posts that will look at self hosting for begginners. If you sign up for the blog you’ll get them when they’re published:

        Or our main website is at www.rebeltechalliance.org

        But really what I’ve got going (if you exclude Transmission) is the simplest stuff. Jellyfin, Calibre and Syncthing are just ‘click and install’ - they are all self contained so they don’t need all that Docker stuff. I suggest just tinkering with them.
