I do everything self-hosted with an unraid box and a decently sized array for my needs. Runs Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, and SABnzb along with a bunch of other stuff. Works perfect for my needs. It just hums along and costs me like $10/month USD
How much storage/bandwidth do you get for $10/mo? I'm getting 8TB storage, 20TB bandwidth and unmetered Jellyfin for ~$35. It's a managed host but I can handle an unmanaged host if it's cheaper.
I only have a 9tb array which is currently enough for my needs. I have uncapped municipal internet and fully saturate my 500mpbs down connection , consistently pulling 43.5mpbs download. I use atomic file linking so there is no unpacking of the file. It lives on a SSD cache drive until a “mover” copies the file to the array overnight. Unraid and docker containers work pretty damn well
Yeah I also have a home array that syncs from my seedbox's array, longer term-cheap storage (16TB and growing)
The seedbox mediaplayer setup is for remote family. I have the 4k library hidden for them because most are not using 4k HDR capable TVs or media players that can handle tone mapping so rather than bother trying to get them to fix their player->display stack or transcoding the content for them (the seedbox provider does not have hardware for transcoding and you'll max your account's CPU time if you try to transcode using the CPU) I simply ensure that my 1080p quality profile is SDR and x264 for compatibility.
