I only really run a server of TV Shows and movies. I use Jellyfin, just personal preference. It’s only really effective for use on the home network, but my smart TVs all have my own personal streaming service.

I use Plex for movies/tv and Playnite for games
Plex for streaming Movies / TV / Music Radarr / Sonarr / Lidarr + Prowlarr I use calibre to manage my ebook library and calibre-web to serve it haugene/transmission-openvpn + a VPN
I switched from Plex to Emby a few years ago after some Plex changes really made me frustrated with it.
I've been loving Emby.

Haven't had to save any files lately except my favs. Stremio + torguard VPN on a Chromecast TV works amazingly well once you add some custom torrent sites.
+1 for stremio - if paired with google drive too, its amazing
Movie/shows download via pyload since one-click hoster is cheaper than Usenet. And I collect them in german/english. Torrents are not so wide spread for that combination.
Kodi for tagging.
Music per Lidarr/Jackett/Deluge/nzbget/OpenVPN primarily Usenet + occasionally torrent.
Tagging by beets because of its discogs plug-in since it is much better than musicbrainz on obscure music.
I have to disagree on the movie/shows part here. IMHO Usenet is way cheaper than this horrible file hosters. And one needs more than one file hoster too. There are also plenty of German private torrent trackers out there. File hosters lack automation, it's just horrible annoying to download everything by hand and solve Captchas all day AND EVEN PAY FOR THIS EXPERIENCE.
I agree on the horrible experience. However h264 rips in Usenet lack in quality from my perspective. Data rates for 1080 are often too low and close to 720 rips. For me rips 8-12GB in size deliver the best ratio for my screen solution, and are efficient for storing.
H265 would be better but my hardware lacks in decoding capability (raspberry 3).
Everyone has different requirements driven by storage, hardware etc.
One click Hoster costs 50 EUR/year for 170GB per day.
Usenet indexer 5Eur/Month + 25EUR for 150GB
Glad if you can advice on cheaper solutions. And good private trackers!
However h264 rips in Usenet lack in quality from my perspective.
How so, its basically the same content (same releases).
Glad if you can advice on cheaper solutions.
You are right the prices of usenet providers went up everywhere, but you still can get Frugal for $40 a year. That's an unlimited subscription of course, unlike file hosters.
And good private trackers!

Jellyfin for my media, and that's about it. I don't have local music, ebooks etc. As for games, I just use Steam but have backups of some of my GOG games.
I organize all my games with Lutris, and my music library with Sayonara (the closest thing I've found to the era of Winamp I knew and loved). I don't have enough stuff to require any further automation.
Sonarr/radarr with rdtclient(real-debrid torrent client) for public torrent links, Qbittorrent vpn for private trackers, and then sabnzbd for usenet.
I mainly use this all for anime because it's harder for me to watch on the fly through kodi. Jellyfin for playback
I also use Kodi with seren and Real-Debrid for everything I don't wanna store.... Which is most of it
I just use Real Debrid and Google Drive tbh
TV/Movies: lookmovie2, sflix, 9anime (I only stream)
Music: Deemix and Musicolet
Manga: Kotatsu
Books: Libgen and Book Reader unless my local library has it.
Will Kavita handle audiobooks too?
Not as far as I know.
Audiobookshelf is top notch for that
I really like the look of this but unfortunately I run windows
Maybe look into setting up Docker in Windows.
How's Romm? It's available for truenas and I'm looking for a good way to store and play. Looks really pretty but doesn't seem to have any emulsion built in? Not looking for anything heavy just backing up all my GB/GBC/GBA, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and GC.
But to actually contribute plex has been our time sink. The lady has so many dvds and blurays I've just been working through all of it. About 8tb deep right now and it's been working great.
