Thanks for the suggestions, this encouraged me to try and get a better setup at home. Now I’ve got Jellyfin running on my pc and can stream to other devices like my laptop or tv etc.
Out of curiosity, why go for Emby rather than Jellyfin as the server?
Plex for my Movies, TV shows, and music (plexamp for music).
Kavita for books. Also nextcloud to a degree.
Games, honestly I have not pirated in a long time, so no need to manage. Gabe Newell was right in that piracy is mainly a service problem, and to be honest Steam and GoG are convenient enough for me that I don’t feel the need to pirate anymore.
How’s Romm? It’s available for truenas and I’m looking for a good way to store and play. Looks really pretty but doesn’t seem to have any emulsion built in? Not looking for anything heavy just backing up all my GB/GBC/GBA, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and GC.
But to actually contribute plex has been our time sink. The lady has so many dvds and blurays I’ve just been working through all of it. About 8tb deep right now and it’s been working great.
Romm doesn’t have any emulation built it. It is not made for that. It’s simply to catalogue all your stuff and make it easy to manage and download them on any of your devices. That’s it.
On the roadmap there is a savegame manager aswell but i don’t know when this comes and how good it will turn out. I don’t even think i’d use this but let’s see…
I have a pretty stable setup now. I mainly focus on TV and Movies but I have the following:
Plex for streaming
Overseerer for media requests
Radarr and Sonarr for Movie and TV acquisition
Jackett for indexers
Gluetun for vpn
From there I basically let radarr and sonarr handle the organizing for the most part. I have a movies folder and a TV folder in my NAS that they save to. I really only have to go in and clean things up every few months or so.
Unregistered torrents (from upgrades to season packs or nuked releases) and the occasional upgrade paths that don’t always work.
My own upgrade paths tend to pull in some versions which get made redundant so every so often, just ensuring there’s no multiple copies as a result of said upgrades
I just use qBittorrents built in categories/subcategory system to sort movies, tvshows. Then Kodi is set up to automaticly scan for new content on startup. Works well, simple.
Plex for streaming Movies / TV / Music
Radarr / Sonarr / Lidarr + Prowlarr
I use calibre to manage my ebook library and calibre-web to serve it
haugene/transmission-openvpn + a VPN
For movies and TV shows, I store everything on my NAS. Just organised into folders. Then play it back using the Infuse app on my AppleTV4K, by pointing the app to my network folder and letting it build a library.
No server software needed and it supports everything including 4K UHD remuxes with 7.1 lossless audio. Hopefully tvOS adds supports for Dolby TrueHD atmos in the future.

Jellyfin, Shoko + Shokofin (anime metadata/organizer), separate NAS to store my music and videos. Games are just stored on my desktop.
Same, freakin love shoko, anime is very annoying to organize otherwise
Plex and Calibre
this is the only way.
I recommend trying out prowlarr as a modern *arr replacement version of jackett
I’ll check it out!

I have had it since way before jellyfin was a thing and have never had a reason to change. I got a lifetime sub something like 10 years ago.

In general just creating folders and keeping everything organized.

What sort of cleaning up do you have to do?

TV/Movies: lookmovie2, sflix, 9anime (I only stream)
Music: Deemix and Musicolet
Manga: Kotatsu
Books: Libgen and Book Reader unless my local library has it.

Will Kavita handle audiobooks too?
Not as far as I know.
Audiobookshelf is top notch for that
I really like the look of this but unfortunately I run windows
Maybe look into setting up Docker in Windows.
