# Introduction My day job involves working with large datasets, and I often need to share terabytes of data with coworkers. That’s all well and good—provided your company doesn’t mind paying egress fees, sharing network folders, or swapping external hard drives. A few months ago, I needed to adapt some existing code for our use case. Before I could do that, I had to get it running with the original dataset which was just over a terabyte in size.

My first attempt at a media stack included Jellyfin, Radarr, Transmission, and Jackett.
