Having Plex and Jellyfin separate from the rest of my docker infrastructure allows me to easily reboot the docker host and modify other stuff without interrupting any active streams from the media servers.

Host specs:

CPU: Intel i5-10500 (chosen for the Quicksync iGPU which is highly efficient at media transcoding)

RAM: 2x 32GB DDR4

Storage:

/: 1 TB NVME SSD
/vm_storage: 2x 240 GB SSD in ZFS mirror for config and data files
/mnt/storage: mergerfs + SnapRAID pool totaling 150 TiB usable storage with single disk parity (YOLO). Drives run btrfs allowing me to utilize snapraid-btrfs for instant snapshotting

Roadmap

Flesh out backup strategy with btrfs snapshots and restic (separately)
Potentially migrate media pool to ZFS. I've been lucky so far with no drive failures but realistically if I did have one fail, it would take ages to rebuild with single disk parity and I'd be wishing I had a more robust setup.
Move everything to Arch LXCs on Proxmox
Possibly set up second Proxmox node for backups
Immich for photo management
Look into Wazuh for threat prevention/detection
GoAccess for web server analytics
