I run my own unraid server with Plex, and have seen for what must be years people talk about the -arr stack to people who know the -arr stack, and none of it answers “what actually makes it worth all the trouble to understand and set up?” The features you describe are probably bullet points in a list somewhere, but it’s great to hear how they combine to actually save time and attention.
This is such a helpful comment.
