    Jellyfin will automatically start when Linux starts.  You can stop/restart from the dashboard.  But if you stop from the dashboard you will need to start it from the command line.  Unless you run it from docker, since Docker Desktop is a UI you can use for managing docker containers.

    The primary benefit of using docker for Jellyfin over just installing it directly in Ubuntu is the self-contained dependencies and the consolidated Jellyfin data in one folder for easy migration and backup.

    As for "isolation" and "security", that takes a lot of extra configuration that most beginners aren't prepared to tackle.

    That made things crystal clear. Thanks again for your patience and help.
