With all this migration i’ve been inspired to start self hosting some services.

I am looking for a mini pc to ideally run linux and host a media server with radarr and sonarr, pihole and some other stuff as i start getting more into self hosting.

Any recommendations / experiences that you can give? Or some general guidelines on what i should look for or things to avoid.

Thank you!!

You could use a network drive for this. My server only has 250GB of storage, but I have an 8TB RAID that stores my media. This gets mounted to my server at boot using samba. I did this by adding an entry in /etc/fstab. The network drive (Synology) and my server are connected via a 2.5 Gbps switch.

You're essentially paying for an extra server though.

Ah, I suppose so. For me, it was something I already had for other purposes.
