Hi there. I'm getting started with Jellyfin and installed it via the official install script for Ubuntu. Install seemed to go fine, but the service was not running after install. I tried starting the service a few times (no luck) and then rebooted the server and tried again. Still no dice.
Looking at the logs, it looks as if it runs out of memory almost instantaneously? Server has 11GB free, so I'm not sure about that. I did trying editing the service file to have it run as root in case there was some sort of permissions issue. The only thing I can think that is unusual is the usage of mediatree for the TV tuner.
I did try the docker container. That did run, but it didn't see my video card or my tuner. I'm not sure what steps I'd need to take to get my them accessible in the container.
I've included my system information and some of the logs below. Interestingly,

jellyfin --version immediately runs out of memory as well, but apt info jellyfin does show the version (10.8.13-1).
