Installing Jellyfin on CentOS7 - ricks333 - 2023-09-18
I'm trying to install Jellyfin on CentOS 7. I have ffmpeg on the system and downloaded the RPMs listed here:
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux/
jellyfin-10.8.10-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
jellyfin-server-10.8.10-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
jellyfin-web-10.8.10-1.el7.noarch.rpm
and installed them.
Sorry to be dense, but now what? The instructions don't include the next step. The system isn't running a web service on :8096 (tho it has apache installed and is providing other web services)
Answering my own question, I think it's the instructions from the Fedora install to:
sudo systemctl start jellyfin
sudo systemctl enable jellyfin
which simply need to be added to the CentOS section?

Uh...wouldn't it be the same as: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux/#fedora?
Considering CentOS, Fedora, and RHEL are all interrelated I think DRY was used when writing the instructions. They were definitely put together by somebody who assumed you'd know that Fedora ~ CentOS.

You'll note if you read my entire post that I'd already figured that out.
It is counter-intuitive how they're written. Just add that to the CentOS instructions, not leave a user to wander through other sections of the instructions and see what they can find.
