Just a short video convincing you to selfhost and showing how awesome and cool it is :3 ====Chapters============= 00:00 - Intro 0:04 - What is Selfhosting? 0:20 - Privacy 1:08 - You Own Nothing 1:2...
You are not wrong that is not mandatory. However, my advice usually for people starting on self hosting that most often than not it is better to over spec a bit more always on HDD, and second the ram. But since prices for ram went to shit, over spec the HDD is still an option for some.
I once thought the same. Started with 3TB usable storage. Now my NAS has 21TB usable storage and it has less than 3TB free space available. Alone my Jellyfin Media uses 7.7TB. Another big factor is my retro game collection. Once you realize what you can do, you use more and more storage.
You only need a tb or two
Maybe. Depends on the use case.
Tell that to my are stack
you get me…
Yes good for you but that’s not mandatory

Okay, to all of you: I get it, more is better, same for me.
But it’s still worth starting if you can only get your hands on two used drives to run in raid 1.
Lol
