I’m a novice Linux user. Comfortable with command line but far from a whiz. Have to duckduckgo a lot of stuff to figure out what I’m doing.
I just bought a WD EX2 Ultra. The Plex app is built in, but it looks like the other stuff I want to do will require Docker containers. Maybe I just need to devote more time to learning containers but, at first look, it all seems quite daunting.
Here’s what I want to set up. Jellyfin for music, tv & movies. Audiobookshelf for podcasts. The Servarr suite for library collection and management. VPN for security and privacy.
Am I swinging too big for my skill level, or does this seem doable? Any suggestions on how to proceed? Any and all feedback is welcome!
I knew this day would come! blows the dust off my gateway machine with a P4 @ 1.6GHz Look, it’s even got a fdd, perfect for backup duty! If I could only find that Zip drive though…

start small, and you should be able to do it no problem.
first off, ignore the wd. its storage. you dont want your storage and your processing mixing (i wouldnt anyway)
lots of available, preconfigured containers with instruction over at: https://hub.docker.com
when you get your containers functional you can connect your media software (jellfyin) to the wd storage
Mixing storage and processing is now cool again. It’s just called hyper converged infrastructure.

id be shocked if that p4 had 4gb of ram though
It can do 2 sticks of 2gb, though it’s not 64bit capable
My Pentium III had a turbo switch… Nostalgia
