Ok, so Linux mini-PC is on order and should arrive in a few days. I prepared a bootable Ubuntu USB to load the latest stable version.
I would humbly request some feedback on my planned approach:
Objectives:
Primary Objective: to set up linux and run Jellyfin to play NAS-stored media
Secondary Objective: to branch out from there and explore how I can derive value from a linux system and linux-based applications
Approach:
Step 1: focus on learning only Linux basics that either support reaching Primary Objective or make use of Linux more efficient (e.g. get the right file editor and shell terminal application and anything else that makes use of Linux time-efficient
Step 2: install and understand Docker and containers (in my limited knowledge, containerizing Jellyfin will make it more reliable because developer's environment is replicated, will make automatic updates of Jellyfin easier, and should simplify permissions with the NAS)
Step 3: install and configure Jellyfin
Feedback on the above, including ideas or potential pitfalls would be appreciated, as would be references to documentation that will help me get to running Jellyfin in quickest time without any "side quests", which I might explore as part of Secondary Objectives.
Thank you in advance.
