I'm new to Jellyfin and recently got it up and running on my first home server. I watched some of Tech Hut's set up videos but I ended up setting it up without containers or VMs, like thedreadpirate suggests.
I created a 100 gig partition on my SSD to set up a dual boot for the latest LTS Ubuntu then followed along with this video to install Jellyfin. ZacsTech's YT channel was helpful and they've also got guides on how to set up a dual boot option for Ubuntu if you need it. It was easier for me to get going than when I'd tried Docker desktop and I currently don't have a need for containerization.
I am pretty sure the external drive I have all my media on that is mounted in Ubuntu is formatted as NTFS and not ext4, which could be the cause of permissions issues I have.
