I have a pretty standard *arr stack going, but my media repo is stored on a single (albeit large) drive.

In the future, if I want to add storage, how would I configure the apps to look in multiple places to build their libraries? Is there some documentation someone can point me to?

Thanks for the help! I'll look into both OMV and Unraid to see if they're what I'm looking for

Unraid is the GOAT for self hosting. An excellent way to learn VMs, Docker, and Linux in general. They have an "app store," which is community templates for Docker containers, and have all the *arr programs you could want. Drive management is super easy, too.

Also MergerFS like mentioned above, SnapRAID, OMV, Unraid, TrueNAS, or just plain ZFS. Something to create a pool of drives will be your best bet. These all do it while some are full OSes or hypervisors and others are things you can implement in your current OS. What are you currently using for your OS?

Ubuntu, strictly cli
