Thank you for saying that. I always wonder if veterans really need to know that much information at all times. As a hobbyist, I only care about when things don't work. My homepage is just a bunch of icons. I could have put them in the browser as a bookmark but it's just not convenient. Then I set up Dockhand to alert me when things go wrong. That's it.

Whether your video is 1080p isn't the concern, since it's the video codec that determines if your client device can play the file directly. If not, it may require Jellyfin to transcode it using software capability only (as you did not enable hardware acceleration).

For hardware acceleration, you should read the official documentation. Say, some Intel CPU supports Intel Quick Sync so you don't necessarily need a GPU.

The issue, in my opinion, is company size. Let's not just look at the gaming industry, but in every industry, when your company gets bigger, the decision-making process takes longer and the final result may often deviate from the initial idea, mostly because the decision is no longer made by the operational people. Say, HR may want to cut or remove certain things for liability concerns, PR the same for protecting company image, accounting for resources concern, etc. In an indie studio, it's the same few people who do everything and you may not know that you are supposed to do something or you have less mouths to feed, leading to bold decisions and masterpieces are made when you don't play safe.

I couldn't agree more about the lack of documentation for Technitium. Thank God it has an interface instead of command line only. Don't know anything DoT or whatever. Guess I'm not using Technitium to it's full potential. That said, I appreciate it being a total package of DNS server and adblocker.

I'm just barely okay at self hosting applications, so using Unbound together with Pi-hole poses a great challenge. Technitum DNS is a whole package and the GUI is user-friendly to me. But, after using Netbird on VPS (for the reverse proxy mostly), because of a different sub-domain being used, I think I don't need Technitium anymore though it continues to work so I have no reason to change.

I don't think Pangolin can do that. I recently migrated to Netbird but I used to do this:

Set up a reverse proxy in your local homelab, say Nginx Proxy Manager, for internal-use only domains. Then also a DNS server, say Technitium or Pi-hole, to resolve those domains. When connected to Pangolin, you open the whole subnet as a private resource.

Technically, you don't really need to touch those Arr applications once you set them up. As others have mentioned, Seerr (merged from Jellyseerr and Overseerr) is probably the only thing you use on daily basis.

You mentioned an app for remote streaming, I assume you know about Jellyfin already. If not, it's like Netflix but you watch your own videos.

Don't have the same problems as yours. My only issue with TA is that it's very picky about the ES and Redis version, so currently I pin them to a specific build. I do worry that one day TA will be updated so much that it won't support older builds of ES and Redis and my whole thing may break.

But when it works, it works perfectly, giving Jellyfin all the metadata to display them neatly (with the TA plugin of course).
