Finished the docker installation guide - what now?

[rakelbara]

Hello!
I've somehow managed to install Docker on my Almalinux VPS server, and then I went through the Jellyfin Docker installation guide (https://jellyfin.org/downloads/docker), which seems to have gone well. What is my next step?? I'm a complete n00b when it comes to terminal/linux/docker/ and all this stuff, so feel free to spell it out for me
Thanks in advance!

On your VPS provider dashboard have you opened the port you specified in your docker installation? If you haven't changed anything, the default port should be 8096.

If you don't know how to do that I suggest to Google how to open a port on your VPS provider.

Once that port is opened, what you will want to do is is connect to your Jellyfin instance via this url:

Code:

https://<IP_OF_THE_VPS>:8096

You should then follow the step by step instruction you see on your screen.

PS: Also, as you probably noticed, there is this following parameter:

Code:

-v /media:/media

which is where you will want to add your media. I am not sure how you plan to use Jellyfin for; but personally I've changed it so that it looks like this:

Code:

-v /media/movies:/media/movies  -v /media/shows:/media/shows

  (and more as you wish)
