Is there a good walkthrough of how to set up Jellyfin on Linux? If I'm breaking away from a shit OS, I may as well try breaking away from an increasingly crummy Plex

[–] fuzzy_feeling@programming.dev 5 points 2 months ago

depends on your distro.
an internet search like "debian jellyfin install" should point you into the right direction.

if in doubt or having trouble: there's a friendly linux community around the corner.

The official documentation has some guides on setting it up in a few different ways, although they assume the user is decently familiar with Linux/terminal commands and such. There might be some more beginner-friendly guides out there, though.

I switched from Plex to Jellyfin a while back and I've been very happy with it.
