Agreed. While the *arrs are "easy" to set up once you have good knowledge of Kubernetes or at least Docker Compose, that's not exactly common. If you're using the native Windows clients, there's a pretty good chance you don't have a NAS set up (or at least not well), which means there's a decent chance you'll eventually have a hardware failure, and then be surprised when your media is suddenly gone.
ZFS pools with full backups, redundant hardware, and highly available servers is not normal.

It wasn't packaged for my distro so I downloaded an archive unzipped and dropped it in /opt Not sure why anyone would absolutely need to understand Kuberetes or even docker. Plugging a PC up to a display has been a better TV for a while now.
