Jellyfin on a vps (lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz)

I have a jellyfin instance running with radarr/sonarr/... for my media needs on my vps.

Problem is that I don't have huge amount of storages and I would like to expand the storage until I'm able to make a personal server ( I don't have space where I live for even a mini pc rn ).

From the options that I have been considering the contabo ( my vps provider ) storage expansion are quite costly so I have been thinking about hetzner storage boxes or a backblaze b2 bucket mounted with rclone/s3fs.

The problem with backblaze is that I use hardlinks with my *arr suite so to save up on space so I'm not sure if I can mount them preserving the hard links.

What would be your thought or reccomendation? Should I get a hetzner storage box and just mount it or is there anything else I could do until I manage to make my own personal server?

Still ocupies the same amount of space, a hardlink just makes it so that if you remove the origin file the link is removed at the same time, bht you can emove it in jellyfin but it will take the same amoun of space.

Edit: either way can't have jellyfin delete media because I don't want it to accidentlally remove stuff from ptt's

You could stop using torrents. Usenet doesn't require you to see, so you just download what you want, watch, and delete.

I thought of that but don't know how to get started at all.

Got any guides for that?

Get a usenet provider. There are many to choose from and there are comparison sites out there. I use cheapness because it gives me a second limited connection to another provider, this helps to make sure everything I want is available by using two possible sources.

Get a nzb indexer, there are some that are preset in rather sonarr and radar screens. Some of them have paid plans that let you do more searches per day.

Configure your arr programs just like you did with torrents.

Yea already done most of it, now just testing out how much stuff it will be able to download from what I want.

That heavily depends on your trackers. Load as many as you can find.
