What Plugins do you use?

Someone made a very sensible comment on the Want To Hear Your Ideas thread here - https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/we-want-to-hear-your-ideas.61559/page-14#post-451627 - and it made me think a poll might be quite interesting to see how many people were actually using the plugins.

I don't mean running the various solutions in a jail you've manually created, this is purely about the Plugins available in FreeNAS. Polls are limited to 15 answers, so I've had to exclude some and include the Other option.

My money would be on very few actually being used!

I've got an emby plugin installed but switched off, as I think the performance in a manual jail is better and I installed XMRig to play with, but after a week or so switched it off.

XMRig is the only one I'm running. I used to run Plex some time ago but am now running a manual install in a jail.

What about ‘none’ ?
I prefer to create my own jails in which I use pkg to install the services I need.
More flexible and easier to update than plugins IMHO.

Very good point! I just ran out of poll options ;)

None of the above. In an ideal world, people should be using standard jails and installing software from pkg or ports as it's typically more up to date than any plugin.

I guess in an ideal world, people should be writing their own software too?

I don't believe this is going to be the case with the iocage plugins.

So the ideal world would disappear immediately ;-)
