Do you use all your self hosted services? Are there any you found to be not worth it after installing? (lemmy.world)

I've always been conservative about what kind of services I host because it takes time to get them set up. For example, there's no reason for me to set up music streaming when I only ever listen to music on my phone and all my music files are already on my phone. On the other hand, it's a good learning opportunity to set stuff up and have to fix it when it breaks. What do you think?

I'm definitely keeping my eye on Jellyfin. Basically waiting for the mobile/tv apps to have more of the features that I personally want, especially on devices like my AppleTV. But it's definitely a good project that I want to see improve.

@HReflex Have you tried using Swiftfin on the AppleTV? I also use Infuse and its been great with the family.

I haven't yet, but when I rebuild my homelab I'll probably install both Plex and Jellyfin and compare them and see which one I like more. Currently without either as the laptop I was using as a server I no longer trust to be stable
