ninjacentral invite system

Not asking for an invite! I do have a NC VIP account. A friend of mine also wants to get into NC. Is there something like an invite system? Can't find it in the profile, so I guess not?

    One big shared media volume has multiple benefits, each server just have to deal with their own user management, no server switching or remembering if that one movie is of this or that Server....

    Then I have multiple jellyfin servers in the app.... That's not what I want, I want a single mount where all the media of all nodes is accessible

    On each node, map all the other nodes as smb, and configure all in jellyfin.

    It would be nicer to have one single mount.

    I use synching too, but it's not what I'm looking for here.

    pooling media libraries - like distributed storage

    I run a full media server, as well do a few friends. Now we had the idea to share our media libraries. In a first quick attempt we, mounted each other's library folder via an smb share and imported those in jellyfin (all servers connected by VPN) Works quite well, but is kind of cumbersome the more people get in. I had the following idea: distributed storage, not as in redundancy, but more like mergerfs. Each "node" allocates a certain amount of storage, say node A, B and C provide 1TB each, these get fused into a singe mount that shows up as 3TB volume. If one node goes offline, the volume will only be 2TB and all files on the offline node will of course be unavailable. Did a bit of research and found stuff like ceph,.glusterfs or seeweedfs, all of which I guess have a lot more functionality and thus are quite complicated and a little over my head. Do you do something like that or have any good ideas how to do that easily?
