I’ve been using it for a year. I don’t name anything in a special way, and it just works.
Yup running it on RPi with external hard drive. No need to name anything.

Some additional recommendations: - Setup two Radarr instances (normal and 4K) and two Sonarr instances (TV and anime) - Follow the TRaSH guides to improve media quality - Komga to read manga and comics - Readarr Calibre integration to delegate parsing & metadata to Calibre - Jellyseerr or Overseerr instead of Ombi - Unpackerr to catch and handle compressed media - autobrr if you’re looking to build ratio
Why use a separate instance for 4k? Can't you just use a separate quality profile? And why a separate one for anime? It seems unnecessary to me.
My 4K instance has one root path (different from non-4K) and one quality profile that's auto-selected by default. Using the Radarr connect option, I have a quality profile on the non-4K instance that automatically adds the movie to the 4K instance. This way, you can ensure you have both 4K and non-4K copies of certain movies (e.g., for external access/transcoding). You also ~never need to actually interact with the 4K instance. See this page for details: https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/Tips/Sync-2-radarr-sonarr/
For Sonarr, it's also for separation, but less of an issue if you're on Sonarr v4. The one thing you gain even on v4 is the ability to have different quality definitions for anime and non-anime content. See: https://trash-guides.info/Sonarr/Sonarr-Quality-Settings-Fil...
Jellyfin is still so far behind Plex in media organization and just general reliability and polish. Also, Plexamp is by far the best music player to exist right now.
But Jellyfin is open source and doesn't try to force you to open an account. I'm at the point now where I will always choose open source if the product is "good enough" even if it is not the best. Jellyfin is "good enough" for my needs at least.

That's a bold claim. Personally I'm very much liking Finamp (for Jellyfin), it's coming along nicely and it does a great job IMHO, especially its offline mode works robustly. Looking at the feature list of Plexamp, sure, it does have a few more niceties, but it doesn't look like Plexamp is free or open in any way, so I'm never going to run it.

Jesus christ. Thank you for the Unpackerr recommendation, that was pissing me off, but jesus christ. I’d pay an extra $10/mo for my seedbox to have just a single interface for all of this without having to manage all these independent apps. Trying to debug why sonarr->prowlarr->flaresolvrr don’t work is a nightmare. That reminds me: - flaresolverr: proxy that handles cloudflare bot checks for torrent trackers that ar…
I think the base setup of Radarr + Sonarr + SABnzbd/qBittorrent + Prowlarr is a huge improvemenet over doing things manually. A lot stuff on top of that is helpful, but the benefit vs. effort ratio diminishes quite quickly.
I haven't had to setup Flaresolverr just yet, but might do that soon.

I use the full stack and all very grateful for the products. The remaining annoyances are: - lack of multi language support - there is no connection between the systems when you want to remove a movie (you remove it in one place and everything knows about that and acts accordingly) - I still did not make to fully grasp how and where to say "I do not want this particular release". I think I saw that in radarr but it n…
Yeah I was initially surprised when learning about the *arr stack for the first time, as my intuition was very insistently telling me: "I must be gettint it wrong, these ought to be all a single service!!" They all definitely feel like small parts of a single package, don't look like they merit being their own thing. But it's not my thing, so what do I know.
The unfortunate reality of Jellyfish is unless it ever comes baked in to Xboxes and smart TVs it doesn't solve the problem all media centers that aren't Plex have. If you can't add it from an app store and use the tv remote or game controller to navigate it no one I know will use it. So its Plex and nothing else until dethroned because I'm sure like most I'm running an internet facing media server for others.
