I’m an English teacher who wanted to “cut the cord” wherever I could, so I started learning about domain hosts, containerization, .yaml files, etc.

Since then, I’ve been hosting several pods for file sharing and streaming for many years, and I’m currently thinking about learning kubernetes for home deployment. But why?

If you aren’t in development, IT, cyber security, or in a related profession, what made you want to learn this on your own? What made you want to pick this up as a hobby?

    I’m considering doing Jellyfin, but I’m not a huge movie/shows consumer,

    Well, if you’re paying for [Insert Streaming Service Here] than I’d say it’s worth it. Save yourself the extra 10, 15, 20 dollars a month and use it on a company (or open sourced project!) that actually cares about its consumers, this can be said for Music streaming and “cloud” storage as well.

      Oh definitely. Had a friend say I saved him like 100 USD in streaming all 6 seasons or something of a well known show because each season had to be rented separately and weren’t currently on any services. Was nuts when I heard the total.

      I’m holding on till I’ve got finances rolling again, but a NAS is definitely in my plans!
