Rule 1 - Don't be a dick

Don't be a dick. This includes any kind of trolling, baiting, etc. Bigotry may result in an instant permaban.

Rule 2 - No misleading or non-descriptive titles

No misleading or non-descriptive titles. Try to be brief but detailed.

Rule 3 - Keep post and comments relevant

Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.

Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.

Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

Rule 5 - No asking / offering Plex shares.

No asking / offering Plex shares. There are other communities for that.

Weekly Share-Your-Build Post

This is part of a (semi-)weekly series of Share-Your-Build Post threads for everyone to share their builds, discuss different server solutions, and share knowledge and resources! Please be polite and helpful to beginners just getting started out, and we want to be as welcoming as we can to newcomers to this community.

Common info to share can include:

  • Plex server make/model
  • CPU and GPU info
  • Storage solution info
  • Plex add-on info (Radarr, Sonarr, Docker, etc.)
  • other configuration info

Anyone who posts good starter guides, FAQs, and/or wikis may get their links added to the sidebar so the rest of the community can benefit!

Cheers!

Just added 5x18TB Seagate Ironwolf NAS (CMR) drives to my build.

it's a retired desktop/gaming pc

  • Ryzen 5600x
  • Radeon 580 gpu
  • 3x4tb zfs raidz1 array
  • 5x18tb zfs raidz1 array
  • 48gb RAM (to be upgraded)
  • Plex, jellyfin (and jellyvue) both behind a reverse proxy, other non related services like vaultwarden etc
  • Sonarr/radarr/lidarr/jackett via docker using private trackers, running mostly linuxserver.io docker images
  • Proxmox

Edit: along with the 5 new drives, switched to a fractal R5 case to accommodate the amount of hard drives

[–] MDKAOD@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been having a hard time finding an r5 case (I haven't looked real hard, but when I have they've been out of stock or very expensive)

Oh! I'm mixing this up with the r7 XL for it's "storage layout".

[–] zahel@cosmere.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah the r7 xl is crazy, and pretty pricey.

A little overkill for my needs at this point in time as well. R5 is midtower and I didn’t feel like going full tower.

[–] Wilshire@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I switched from a rack mount to an R5 case and it's a lot more practical.

[–] zahel@cosmere.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed. Rack mount is cool but I don’t have the space for that
