@lemmy.worldI started a new job as a systems engineer not too long ago and am looking for a way to get comfortable with FOS as I've never had to manage FC switches before. Anyone know of a way to emulate it, or should I just resign myself to buying an old switch on ebay and throwing it in the rack?

Opportunistic Atlassian highlights problems in wake of move by Meta, Dell, Google and others
So I'm going to be getting a new housemate soon, and they will most likely take the room that's housing my dell r420 and rack. It's currently running proxmox and hosting a jellyfin instance that I and a few friends/family members are using.
I'd like to move the server to another area, but cooling and noise requirements are making this an issue. I was thinking about clustering a bunch or raspberry pi's that I have sitting around to try and come up with something like a replacement, but I can't get my head around moving my storage off local disk to a san that won't have a fibrechannel connection to my compute. Should I be looking at other SBC types, or should I just invest in renovating to build a new suitable spot for my hardware? What would you do?
EDIT: I'm hosting more than jellyfin, but this is the app I'm worried about - everything else can make do with a slower storage-compute connection.
