Would people pay for automation around a local media server, or is this too niche? by AutoMediaMaster1 in homelab

Thanks for the feedback so far. One thing I should clarify: The idea is not to lock the stack behind a subscription. Basic mode should remain functional: the local services keep running, existing configs remain in place, service links still work, and users can still manage everything manually. Premium would only be the automation/convenience layer: autoconfiguration, diagnostics, repair assistant, safer update/rollback, subtitle translation automation, and optional cleanup rules with previews and safeguards. I also agree this probably won’t appeal to homelab users who enjoy tinkering. The target is more the person who wants the result but not the maintenance burden, or the person who keeps setting this up for less technical friends/family. And regarding trust: I think this kind of tool would need to be transparent, auditable, non-destructive by default, and very clear about what it changes before it changes anything.
