Topic per title, basically.
For me: after setting up all the integrations and fall overs using the arr stack and Jellyfin (inc Sabnzdb etc)… I keep circling back to Nova video player.

It’s arguably not even self hosting…but there something undeniably cool about sticking a USB stick into a router, installing a single app on your TV and boom, done. EDIT: of course, it can consume the *arr stack, integrate with Ombi etc
IOW, I really like stuff that simple to set up and punches above its weight class.
Big fan of Immich.
I have a couple thousand photos that were taken since around time When blackberry was big and before. Older family photos I’ve scanned. Home videos from vcr tapes. Stuff I wouldn’t want to use up my space on cloud drives but it’s sooo nice having them in Immich and organized.
I have local backups and offsite backup btw, and redundancy in the server itself. But Immich is great. Paid supporter.
