A Celeron J4125 will choke if you try to use ZFS along with heavier services like Immich and Jellyfin.

Something like a i7-6700 or a i5-8500 would be a better choice

I think it is the curse of having to big of budget

Start small and cheap before working up (if needed)

For ZFS Proxmox recomends 2 GiB Base + 1 GiB/TiB-Storage

16Gb is good for 14Tb of storage or less following that rule

TrueNAS should be way safer than OpenMediaVault. I’ve used TrueNAS for some large work deployments and it is solid as long as you understand ZFS basics.

I would target spending less so that you have money to upgrade and fix mistakes. Spend half your budget now and then in a few weeks or months upgrade or change what you don’t like. It is better to screw up cheaper.

If you don’t have a ton of data you could also go all flash. You can get low performance (but reliable) sata SSDs for not to much money. If you only have a few TB of data. I have a few of these and while they don’t set any speed records they have been solid and power friendly.

ZFS is designed to not destroy data in the case of a hardware failure. It checksums everything it does and will go read only if it starts having errors.

A few questions:

• How much data are you going to store?

• What performance are you targeting? (Power draw and application performance)

• What do you project for future growth? Are you sticking to containers or are you wanting to use VMs?

• What are you targeting for cost? You can buy a used workstation for not that much money which might be a better deal depending on what the end goal is.

I would highly recommend that you do lots of research on ZFS before doing anything. You will benefit from ram way more than you will from a cache. Also cache drives wear out fast do to high number of writes.

I also would go for Intel if you are thinking about Jellyfin since Intel has better encoding. (At least on hardware more than 1-2 years old)

This is Lemmy

Vxlan is way overkill

It would be way more performant to use 802.1q vlan tags

You really can’t in practice. Maybe look into Simplex Chat

It does though

Do not expose Jellyfin to the internet. Local network is mostly fine since the real threats are the bots

I personally wouldn’t expose anything to the internet. You could always setup a computer on a different network that routes traffic over netbird

Well the other option would be a VPN

The implementation

It runs JavaScript and the actual algorithm could use improvement.

Isn’t that for VoIP?

What?

Not to mention it relies on security though obscurity

It wouldn’t be that hard to figure out and bypass

Anubis is more of a economic solution. It doesn’t stop bots but it does make companies pay more to access content instead of having server operators foot the bill.

Anubis sucks

However, the number of viable options is limited.
