To be fair, i ended up getting another pi4 and setting it up with tailscale, samba, and jellyfin to give to my dad. As he kept needing to ask me how to get logged into my server. Now he just uses the tv app for jellyfin. I use samba to send him films and shows when he needs them and i remove his old ones in the same way. Works well. But i am now managing two libraries :p

Are you asking what a TB is or are you suprised i only have 1TB?

I dont leave stuff on there once i have watched it unless i particularly like it. I cycle stuff round. Although i havent hit the max yet and still havent watched it all.

I set up tailscale on my jellyfin box and my family can use their phone to access the server by turning on tailscale (just open the app and toggle it on then open jellyfin) and cast to their Tv. Not as smooth as plex but works for us and the tailscale means its all encrypted.

I run it on a raspberry pi4 that is also my pihole and after turning off transcoding its runs beautifully. Running in a docker container. With 1tb ssd attached via usb 3 the whole setup cost me about £100 and has been working for about a year now.
