I had my own Nextcloud and Home Assistant (on a raspberry pi) or years and they're awesome, but I really don't have a use case for specialized stuff like jellyfin or vaultwarden. I just slap my media and a keepass file on my Nextcloud and I'm happy!
Idk about vaultwarden, but Jellyfin is just a media server. Sonarr/Prowler lets me queue up the shows I want to watch. Jellyfin plays them on the two big TVs and the kid's pad I have in the house. It's pretty straightfoward. Less tedious than fishing for torrents on the traditional basket of sites and manually queuing up the downloads. And I can watch the shows anywhere, rather than being anchored to a single machine.
But you still need video files on your server and manually source them form somewhere, right?
Right. It's still a home server setup. Unless, I guess, you've got some kind of cloud service you can pipe the data in from. But then you're regressing to #1.
