Comment on How many containers are you all running?

• ToTheGraveMyLove@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  I’m using docker. Tried to set up Jellyfin in one but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get it to work, even following the official documentation. Ended up just running the jellyfin package from my distros repo, which worked fine for me. Also tried running a tor snowflake, which worked, but there was some issue with the NAS being restricted and I couldn’t figure out how to fix that. I kinda gave up at that point and saved the whole container thing to figure out another day. I only switched to Linux last year, so I’m still pretty new to all of this.

    If you do decide to look in to containers again and get stuck please make a post. We are glad to help out. A tip I can give you when asking for help. Tell the system you are using and how. Docker with compose files or portainer or something else etc. If using compose also add the yaml file you are using.

      Yo, I finally got it figured out. 😂 Set up Navidrome last night, and just finished setting up Jellyfin. Appreciate the encouragement. ✌

      I will definitely try again at some point in the next year, so I will keep that in mind! I appreciate the kind words. A lot of what you said is over my head at the moment though, so I’ve got my work cut out for me. 😅

        Docker Compose is really the easiest way to self-host.

        Copy a file, usually provided by the developers of the app you want to run, change some values, run docker compose up and it “just works”.

        And I say that as someone who has done everything from distro-provided packages to compiling from source, Nix, podman systemd, and currently running a full-blown multi-node distributed storage Kubernetes cluster at home.

        Just use docker compose.

    I’m pretty sure I was at the same point years ago. The good thing is, next time you look into containers it’ll likely be really easy and you’ll wonder where you got stuck a year or two ago.

    At least that’s what has happened to me more times than I can remember.

      You were totally right. Got Navidrome set up last night, and just finished setting up Jellyfin. There were a few places I was scratching my head (the official documentation for both those isn’t great if you don’t already know how docker works) but I worked through it and now they’re both up and running great! Appreciate the kind words!
