Single host - Just Docker run + Portainer - Also using Macvlans so most containers have hostnames and static IPs on my LAN. K8s is cool, but I have no need for container orchestration.

Choosing a service to NOT selfhost is a subjective descision.

I host 18 Proxmox VMs and 20 Docker containers at home. I also was selfhosting a WebDAV server for synchronizing my Joplin notes between devices and Vaultwarden for managing my Bitwarden vault, but decided to push the Joplin synchronization target to Dropbox [free] and to use Bitwarden’s free cloud solution for my passwords and secure notes. I did this because I will need immediate access to these two critical sources of information should my house burn down, or get blown over by a tornado. I have extremely strong passcodes for these and trust the hosts.

This was strictly a personal decision. YMMV.

OP, your poll needs an “All of the above” option. That would be my choice.

In a nutshell, I have no interest in the feature bloat being introduced into Plex. I want a simple media server. Jellyfin provides this, and includes basic features like hardware transcoding and live-TV. I migrated from Plex [free] to Jellyfin a couple of years ago and haven’t looked back.

I also am in the Apple ecosystem and pay $10 USD per year for the Infuse app, which is more polished IMO than both the native Jellyfin and Plex clients.
