Because I'm that lost. I've been following guides, reading articles, jumping through manuals and more. It took my two weeks to find instructions for how to mount multiple partitions that are persistent through reboots using fstab and labels because the original Youtube guide for "How to SetUp JellyFin Media Server in 10 Minutes With Raspberry Pi 5 (2024)" only gave the narrowest instructions for setting up with one drive with basic permissions. I've been clawing for answers since my Pi was finally delivered by Sparkfun after four months in January.
All I want is to be able to drag-and-drop files from my PC to the storage on the Pi and then play them over the server to devices in my house. I followed the CasaOS guide because it gave me a GUI for that which I could use, but permission problems got in the way. So I dumped it and moved to trying to use Docker with Docker Desktop to get it done, but now that's more complicated.
I'm just so lost and I'm sorry to vent like this, but I don't know how to get this running because every guide and every recommendation is different and I can't find one clear path to follow to get this set up cleanly.
