Self hosting for things I care to keep around, streaming to get new download ideas and for stuff where hosting everything would be too much.
For movies and shows I find myself some Linux ISOs.
Music, I get from Bandcamp if available and if not, there are very good Tidal downloaders out there. Tidal also doubles as my “I want to check out this song” service.

Didn’t appear to be vibecoded last I checked. Guy’s been working on this since 2024
Podman is an alternative to Docker which integrates better with systemd and it also offers a way to automatically update containers.
But that’s basically using the same built-in auth. If there’s an auth bypass I don’t think it makes a difference.
Too real, though I only have automerge for digest and patch enabled. Too many dependencies have breaking changes on “minor” updates.
So what’s your preferred solution and why?
SSH and Ansible using SSH
Why not give every server a reasonably memorable domain name?
Did you do Quadlets?
I test in my Homeproduction
I use Arch (btw) on my desktops and laptops.
On my servers I’m halfway through replacing Debian with openSUSE.
My desktop and servers have different use cases and I interact with them in different ways, so there’s little confusion for me.
Agreed. I was going to argue more against encryption, but you can see me somewhat changing my mind in the second half of my comment.
For me personally, I don’t want the hassle of encryption on my VPS and have decided I’m fine with the remaining risk.
It’s worth going through the provider’s policies.
For example, here’s how Hetzner handles deletion of your data
Encryption will prevent mistakes, but if you can’t trust the provider’s policies you shouldn’t trust them to run your infrastructure at all.
Sonarr and Radarr heavily rely on quality profiles you need to define, for examples see TrashGuides.
Your system probably needs less setup in comparison
Do you know any? I’ve never really looked beyond ntfy.sh until now
That’s why you have regular snapshots, backups and monitoring
And after having done that, you spend the next day automating these steps with cloud-init and Ansible
You can still use VMs and do containers in there. That’s what I do, makes separating different services very easy.
Yeah, some dude named jellyfin on Github keeps uploading the latest versions
