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.)

there is a famous quote i like to use for this kind of question: "in the end it doesn’t […] matter’. maintenance should be about the same (if you update manually, which is better in my opinion, because you don’t come home to something not working because of breaking changes in the software)

Eh I update automatically at 2 Am. I have had so few issues that I don’t even think about it anymore.
