a breach of one container means access to the data of all containers

How so? Each service uses its own database with credentials that provide access only to that database. Unless on top of a breach in your container there is some zero-day in your DBMS - which I find highly improbable - no other data will be affected.

Given that database management systems already provide clear separation between services in the form of databases, users, and permissions, I see no need to spin up new database instances for each individual service. You say it’s easier to back up tightly coupled services and databases, but why? I find it easier to back up a single database server than multiple servers.

The real concern with shared databases is performance: some services, under certain conditions, can generate load that degrades database performance for everyone. But that’s usually a problem for large enterprises, not self-hosters.

I suppose some people like to collect stuff. You’re right that it’s easy to access mainstream stuff, but once you decide to watch some less known movie - especially an old one - you may struggle to find it. Even with somewhat popular movies there are things like extended/director’s cuts, remasters, re-releases, etc. So I get it.

With that said, I watch on average one movie per week, so android tv with a video player that can browse a samba share is more than enough for me.

It’s like in an office when a person whose birthday it is today must bring a cake or something like that :D HB
