  I’m new to all this. Got any recommendations how to learn about Jellyfin?

    while often outdated, there are youtube tutorials. you could buy a cheap thinkcentre or set up a virtual machine to try it out.

    personally, i run truenas scale with jellyfin as an “app” on my old PC.

    So here’s how I’m running things: At the top level it’s a Raspberry pi 5 running raspbian, then everything else (jellyfin, prowlarr, radarr, sonarr, Usenet download software, etc) is a docker container. If that sounds like how you want to do it feel free to message me and I can try to get you on your feet

      I’m not who you replied to but I’ve been looking to set up something like this (I have a year old dedicated tower for hosting)

      But I don’t know anything about docker, and it seems like a pretty big learn - is it required for the sonarr radarr and overseerr stuff, or just a nice to have thing?

        It’s not required it’s just a lot smoother to update and sort things out. I recommend it but you don’t need it.

      I’m using OMV headless and have zero luck with Docker or Portainer.

      Is it going to be easier to set up Docker using Raspbian with a GUI?

        I used CLI for setup, the GUI is just for ease of file management and checking libraries. I recommend hot.io for super easy images to just fire and forget. Links I hope will help you: hotio.dev/containers/jellyfin/ wiki.servarr.com

        Step 1. Get docker up and running (Portainer helps with other containers) Step 2. Use prowlarr to set up all the search engines you’ll use on other *arr apps Step 3. Set up your libraries with Jellyfin

    Honestly you can just run the app on your computer and tv connected devices. You don’t have to get fancy. I had trouble getting it up recognize and remember me library server address at first, but somehow I got it to work. I don’t like the UI though, and just use PLEX instead.

  Of use jellyfin, but I have too many friends with only consoles that rely on my server. Sigh
