Topic per title, basically.
For me: after setting up all the integrations and fall overs using the arr stack and Jellyfin (inc Sabnzdb etc)… I keep circling back to Nova video player.

It’s arguably not even self hosting…but there something undeniably cool about sticking a USB stick into a router, installing a single app on your TV and boom, done. EDIT: of course, it can consume the *arr stack, integrate with Ombi etc
IOW, I really like stuff that simple to set up and punches above its weight class.
what do you mean by “gives back”? To whom? For example, why Jellyfin over any of the *arrs

Don’t take it the wrong way, the *arrs are an awesome ecosystem and tool. Very cool integration and administration.
But I could life without or replace them. Things like Jellyfin, immich, homeassistant are more integral in the sense of usage and replacing them would be a whole ordeal I would ideally like to avoid.
I think what they mean is that things like Traefix, arr, et al are means to an end. The ideal situation is that you don’t need to touch them after they’re set up. Jellyfin, on the other hand, is something you actively sign into and use
Kind of.
To me they are more like accessories and not services I interact with (interact like homeassistant, immich, jellyfin).
Services like Traefik/Authelia are infrastructure. Needed but not required.
They are like a road. Nice to have and receive a smooth ride but driving on the bare ground is possible but uncomfortable ;)
