I’d have thought it was less hassle to use the jellyfin OCI container in either docker or podman. podman will even generate the systemd service file for you
Docker/podman are not virtualisation, they are containerisation. The system groups all the processes into a namespace and executes them on the same host/kernel as the base system. There is no overhead of virtualisation as its not creating virtual hardware or running a whole OS. Its more like the flatpak you’re already running than a vm
Docker and Flatpack are both containerization technologies and work in similar ways under the hood. Docker is more geared towards running headless services that other systems access while flatpack is more geared towards desktop gui applications that are interacted with from the same system they run on.

Use the instructions in the docs for making a service file but replace the jellyfin binary with the flatpak binary (with the jellyfin run arguments)
Sounds complicatad but i will try it. Tnx for answer!
It’s much more chill than you think. Leave more comments if you want help
There are several options:
+: Can launch application without logging in
-: Requires learning how to add a systemd service
+: Easy
-: Requires logging in before it starts
+: Quite easy
-: Works without logging in
+: Doesn’t require root permissions
I recommend going with Docker because Flatpak isn’t really meant for server applications.
Oh no you forgot kubernetes!
Just a small note: docker can also run rootless for a while. The configuration is slightly convoluted, but can be done.
If you install GNOME Tweaks, you can add it to your startup apps easily through Tweaks…
I think you may be doing this wrong. Maybe you should consider containers?
Thank you all for answers <3 I will try it and report if i need help.
lemmy is realy an awsome forum!

Isnt docker kind of virtualisation? Is it realy required for this? I would expect flatpak to have a way of autostarting software… 🤔🤷♂️
