[336.98 --> 338.60] you make some opinionated decisions |
[338.60 --> 341.12] and kind of point people in a direction |
[341.12 --> 342.34] and then lay out how to do it. |
[342.66 --> 345.88] And I think that's maybe, for me, the real value of the site. |
[345.88 --> 348.98] I think as well, a lot of people come to Linux, |
[349.04 --> 350.34] and I've said this before on the show, |
[350.94 --> 353.70] a lot of people come to Linux not through the desktop, |
[354.14 --> 356.34] but through Plex, |
[356.62 --> 358.90] through running headless apps on a Synology |
[358.90 --> 360.88] or a Raspberry Pi or something like that. |
[360.88 --> 364.54] And once you start having a box in your house |
[364.54 --> 367.46] that does everything 24 hours a day, |
[367.62 --> 369.16] that is on 24 hours a day, |
[369.58 --> 370.82] you think, what else could I do with it? |
[371.04 --> 374.04] And that single spark is a huge rabbit hole. |
[374.20 --> 377.12] And I think one of my primary goals with the site |
[377.12 --> 379.38] is to equip those newer people |
[379.38 --> 383.74] with the skills that they need to install Ubuntu, |
[384.82 --> 385.94] set up MergerFS, |
[386.48 --> 388.16] figure out what an FS tab is, |
[388.16 --> 391.02] and not be intimidated by, you know, |
[391.22 --> 396.10] wading through lots of different disparate documentation |
[396.10 --> 397.94] across different places on the internet. |
[398.04 --> 399.22] It's just all in one place. |
[399.88 --> 402.78] And if you want to have multiple hard drives |
[402.78 --> 405.32] in a single box that are of mismatched sizes |
[405.32 --> 406.80] with different file systems, |
[407.24 --> 408.58] well, here's a solution for you. |
[409.10 --> 410.70] You've already got data on these drives. |
[410.78 --> 411.88] You don't want to do RAID. |
[412.22 --> 413.04] Great, cool. |
[413.14 --> 414.66] Come along and join the party. |
[414.66 --> 416.62] Yeah, and honestly, |
[416.92 --> 418.98] it's a lot of the stack that we talk about frequently. |
[419.34 --> 420.58] You talk about Docker, |
[420.76 --> 422.34] kind of some of the background in there, |
[422.40 --> 423.02] how to get it going. |
[423.34 --> 425.12] And you work your way up through |
[425.12 --> 426.76] how to manage multiple disks |
[426.76 --> 427.88] of different sizes, like you say. |
[427.96 --> 428.54] But then also, |
[429.08 --> 430.32] if you want to go ZFS, |
[430.70 --> 433.78] and here's also a Proxmox layer you should consider, |
[434.68 --> 436.44] any one of those could be broken out |
[436.44 --> 438.42] and really have nothing to do |
[438.42 --> 440.30] with building a media server. |
[440.64 --> 442.28] So it's kind of valuable in that way too, I suppose. |
[442.28 --> 444.00] So I mentioned that just for the audience |
[444.00 --> 446.02] who's not interested in building a media server, |
[446.16 --> 449.04] but does want to learn more about Docker |
[449.04 --> 452.36] or MergerFS or SnapRate or ZFS or Proxmox |
[452.36 --> 454.88] or hardware, any of that kind of stack, |
[454.96 --> 456.24] stuff we talk about on this show |
[456.24 --> 458.16] and you want to read something from Alex on it, |
[458.68 --> 459.52] you can find it there too. |
[459.66 --> 462.42] And I could totally have seen a guy like me, |
[463.24 --> 465.10] maybe if I was building my media server setup |
[465.10 --> 465.90] for the first time, |
[466.22 --> 467.18] I'd be thinking, okay, |
[467.24 --> 468.52] I know I want to use containers, |
[468.70 --> 470.00] but I don't quite know how |
[470.00 --> 472.60] and in what way to use them to do this right. |
[473.24 --> 474.52] I know about MergerFS, |
[474.80 --> 476.42] but I don't know how to deploy it. |
[476.52 --> 478.62] And so having you write something, |
[479.52 --> 481.04] having used this stuff in production |
[481.04 --> 482.16] for five years now, |
[482.70 --> 484.16] there's value to that. |
[484.46 --> 486.08] So you should be the perfect media server guy. |
[486.56 --> 487.88] I think that's, I said good on you. |
[488.20 --> 490.02] You be the perfect media server guy |
[490.02 --> 492.84] because I endorse this media server build here. |
[492.94 --> 494.80] You are, Chris, and you support this message. |
[495.04 --> 496.08] I wonder what the cost is. |
[496.12 --> 496.92] Have you thought about that? |
[496.92 --> 499.44] Have you thought about like what the cost would be |
[499.44 --> 502.38] for a minimal build of something from this guide? |
[502.64 --> 503.58] Well, in terms of hardware? |
[504.60 --> 505.58] Yeah, in terms of hardware. |
[506.00 --> 507.66] I think QuickSync now for me |
[507.66 --> 509.50] is a minimum price of entry |
[509.50 --> 511.54] after everything we talked about in the last episode. |
[512.24 --> 515.04] So a hundred bucks for a CPU. |
[515.76 --> 517.32] You can probably find a used motherboard |
[517.32 --> 518.82] that will do the trick for a hundred dollars. |
[519.02 --> 520.74] Again, RAM is about a hundred. |
[521.44 --> 522.66] And then hard drives. |
[522.74 --> 524.00] For an eight terabyte hard drive now, |
[524.00 --> 525.30] you can go to Best Buy and pick one up |
[525.30 --> 528.14] for around 130, 140. |
[528.58 --> 529.86] So I don't know. |
[529.92 --> 531.86] Let's say 140. |
[532.88 --> 533.42] What's that? |
[533.50 --> 537.14] It's like $1,100 or so for hard drives. |
[538.06 --> 538.86] I don't know, $1,500. |
[539.60 --> 541.44] I think all in would get you |
[541.44 --> 543.58] five, eight terabyte drives |
[543.58 --> 545.00] of 40 terabytes of storage |
[545.00 --> 548.28] for $1,500 all in. |
[548.28 --> 550.92] And you own it forever. |
