Hi, I’m self hosting a jellyfin server and I wondering if anyone could give advice abt my setup. I have an internal 2tb ssd and I’m using a external 2tb ssd. I’m looking to make my setup more cohesive and less of a headache. I want more storage for media but I don’t know where to start. I looked online to price compare drives and I saw a 14tb hhd for $160, is this a good price for a hard drive? I also haven’t been able to make tdarr work with my gpu so most of my media is probably taking more space than it needs. Any advice would be appreciated!


Just like navidrome it seems like Jellyfin reacts to failed mounts by emptying libraries.

With version 10.11.0 they offer a built in backup system for db/metadata/subtitles though so once access is restored it’s easy to restore any metadata changes you’ve done to your library. (As long as you got a backup since before that is)
