Any substantial movie/series collection can be more over a TB and thus not cost efficient to host in the cloud.

I've been running a server with multiple TB of storage for many years and have been using an old PC in a full tower case for the purpose. I keep thinking about replacing the hardware, but it just never seems worth the money spent although it'd reduce the power usage.

I have it sharing data mainly via SSHFS and NFS (a bit of SMB for the wife's windows laptop and phone). I run NextCloud and a few *arr services (for downloading Linux ISOs) in docker.

(Currently 45TB in use on my system)

Edit: as no-one is asking, I base my system on mergerfs which was inspired by this excellent site: https://perfectmediaserver.com/02-tech-stack/mergerfs/
