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 was considering MinIO, then evaluated Garage, then decided it wasn’t with the trouble since a lot of the things I host don’t even natively support object storage. I do use LFS with Forgejo and it would’ve made sense there, and maybe Jellyfin supporting object storage would be a tipping point.
