I personally think of a small DIY rack stuffed with commodity HDDs off Ebay with an LVM spanned across a bunch of RAID1s. I don’t want any complex architectural solutions since my homelab’s scale always equals 1. To my current understanding this has little to no obvious drawbacks. What do you think?

    I just use mergerfs and SnapRAID so I can scale dynamically when I can afford new drives. Granted it’s all fully replaceable media files on my end, so I’m not obsessed with data integrity.

      Well, this path seems to be the most appropriate for what I am for.

      And more to that, both mergerfs and snapraid are available out of the box in the latest stable Debian release.

      Thanks for pointing me at it!
