How To Store, Stream, Backup & Protect? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'd like input on how some of you store, consume & protect your media. I have a rather limited knowledge of hardware and also limited floor space & plugs in my surge protector. My current PC has 2 2TB internal hard drives and no Wi-Fi Card from when it was rebuilt 2yrs ago.

Basically, I want something I can store a LOT of video (let's say 10T+), stream it to my devices, have some type of backup of the material and protection from power failures.

I've heard many terms like Media Server, NAS, Raid, UPS & services like Sync.com, etc. and have tried sorting through various videos on YouTube but it just confuses me more.

Any positive responses would be most appreciated!

Nerds like to argue but this the easiest set-it-and-forget it way is to get a raspi or old PC and put some home server OS on it like CasaOS, Umbrel, or TrueNAS. Then get the following apps:

  • Torrent app like Deluge or qBittorrent
  • Prowlarr - Searches torrent sites
  • Radar - Manages movies
  • Sonarr - Manages television shows
  • Plex - organizes downloaded media and streams to your devices
  • Overserr (optional) a friendly GUI for requesting media.

Trash guides are useful for getting it all set up. There is a learning curve but once it's up and running you don't need to think about it.
