Comment on Good server OS for Jellyfin

I would only recommend TrueNAS Scale if you want an easy way to manage a ZFS pool. I wouldn’t use it for anything related to containers or logic as it’s very inflexible and only supports specific usecases through its weird app system. Debian is my usual choice for basically everything, but it will be fully DIY. OpenMediaVault is a good turnkey option based on Debian that’s similar to TrueNAS Scale, except it allows you to run plain Docker and other custom usecases. I also like Proxmox (based on Debian) a lot but it’s a bit too advanced if you don’t need its hypervisor functionality.

OMV actually removed their portainer implementation, so if you want to run docker you just have to do it like any other distro.

Oh I didn’t realize. I wonder why they would do that? Either way it’s not a huge deal - the main problem with TrueNAS Scale is that you actively cannot install Docker onto it because it will conflict with the normal TrueNAS Scale app system. There are technically ways to get Docker working on a TrueNAS Scale system but they’re unsupported and likely to break frequently on updates. Debian and OpenMediaVault should behave similarly in terms of getting Docker set up.

OP is saying wrong information. OMV6 still has Portainer implementation but they moved the setup. OP is probably not aware of it.

Actually they didn’t…You should update your information.
