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.)
  • @kekvrose@sh.itjust.works

    No reason other than the fact that you need extra steps to get Jellyfin working in Fedora.

    If you have the patience and time, as I mentioned, you can still use Jellyfin in Fedora.
