I want to make a server for hosting media through Jellyfin, and maybe some Nextcloud functionality. I prefer to use containers, but something like TrueNAS’ extensions/plugins sound good as well. This is my first server, so I don’t know what to choose. My possible options are:

  • Debian
  • Ubuntu
  • Fedora
  • TrueNAS Scale Which one should I choose? I am fine with using either Docker or Podman. (Edit: The server will be running on an old laptop with a single drive slot.)

    Never not going to mention NixOS. :)

    You just need to set services.jellyfin.enable = true; in your system configuration and that’s it. It’s not containers, but it’s better than containers.

      I haven’t had the time to look into NixOS… but damn that’s just fucking magical…
