I’ve turned down many self-hosted options due to the complexity of >the setup and maintenance.
Do you agree with this?
No.
I like my services and stack.
From the *arrs and Jellyfin, HortusFox, Unifi Network Application (though it should run with just a SQL-Lite DB) over many things else.
Yes, databases are annoying but if the service that wants it is sane I have no problem doing it.
What does grind my gears is when services have many breaking changes (e.g. Immich). If it wasnt for that I would be more open to finally start with that and maybe install good and working immich service.
The things redditors mentioned are very good already. Primarily screenshots.
Please, please always add screenshots to let me have a general idea of the UI.
At the very least a demo instance if you can’t be bothered to add screenshots (yes, I have seen many services that would rather share a demo instance than screenshots…)
It’s annoying to figure out if the program is any good if it’s reliant on a UI.
