I have network storage. That’s it.

I want to watch anime? I open the series folder from the mounted network share and watch it in VLC. I want to listen to music while on my walk? I open Solid Explorer on my phone and play the MP3. I want to read ebooks? I just open the file in whatever reader app I want.

I have 5TiB of media and I’ve never felt the need to set up any kind of hosted frontend.

What am I missing out on? Anyone else run their NAS like this?

Thanks all.

    Not me. I need nextcloud and jellyfin. I use nextcloud for my calendar, task, note, photos, contacts etc. Jellyfin, well, media.

    I dont have gdrive, icloud, spotify stuff like that. So, i need to host it myself.
