I got 3 14 TB Seagate Exos drives from here like 3 years ago. They’ve been working great.

I stopped using nextcloud after syncing suddenly broke for me, but in the app on my phone I could pull up the list of files with sync errors. It should be somewhere in the sync setting section.

If you want to tinker with it (probably quite a bit until you get it nicely tuned), the Ender 3 pro for $75 is a good deal. I’ve got one, and with some minor upgrades (raspberry pi running Klipper+Mainsail and a bed leveling sensor) it’s been great. I saw you mentioned using Linux and tinkering with that, so you’d probably be able to get things working well.

After you’ve got a bit of experience, I definitely recommend connecting it to a Pi or other computer to run some kind of web interface for printing, it’s much nicer than messing with an SD card every time. Klipper (firmware alternative!) isn’t too hard to set up (I’m using Mainsail as the UI) and it’s been great. Before that I had Octoprint with the stock firmware which was super easy to set up but more limited.

If you want to just plug it in and have it work perfectly right away, I’ve heard Bambu labs is best for that, but they’re much more walled garden than other brands.

Good luck! I struggled immensely with getting it to work in an unprivileged container, especially the bind mounts and their permissions for my media file shares. I ended up giving up and running Jellyfin in a privileged container after a few days of fighting with it.

It should be the same process as for Jellyfin, aside from the steps to install or change settings in Jellyfin itself.

If you’ve got a docker host, nginx proxy manager is super simple. Aside from a super basic docker compose file, the rest of the config can be done via the web gui.

If you’re on proxmox, there’s a helper script for creating an nginx proxy manager lxc, and the rest can be done via the web gui as well.

If you’re using a desktop, there’s no compatibility worries for motherboard and gpu. They all use PCI-e ports and are standard.

I’ve printed some basic gridfinity bins (the vase mode ones are super quick and sturdy enough for what I’m doing) and baseplates.

I also custom modeled a hook for my headset that would only work for my specific desk.
