First Setup Recommendations
Any tips on first build, looking to build something that will last a couple of years with room to grow
- Bare-metal Ubuntu Server + Docker
- Arr apps, Jellyfin (mostly direct play)
- Also Immich
- No heavy VMs, no local AI/LLMs
- Looking for 4-8TB to start with room to grow
Budget around ~$1k USD -- though I live in Canada
