I’m going to be running a Jellyfin server, and I don’t want to maintain it a lot, I just want it to work. Would using Docker be the easier way to maintain Jellyfin, or would using Podman be better? (I don’t want to deal with SELinux, firewalls, port forwarding, etc.)
I run Docker containers on a Pi 4 using the RPi OS. For the longest time I’ve been using Plex. I wanted to give Jellyfin a go though, so just created a new compose file and mounted my TV/Movies directories. Other than the first time setup of Jellyfin I don’t touch it now. Plex and Jellyfin run side by side. To update I just do a docker-compose pull every so often. Super simple.
