  Yes, I have it installed as a Docker container in a Debian 12 machine. My Docker compose file is something like this:

    jellyfin:
      container_name: jellyfin
      image: jellyfin/jellyfin
      group_add:
        - "105" 
        - "44"
        - "102"
      devices:
        - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
        - /dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0
  

  The group numbers were obtained following Jellyfin’s documentation.

  You also need to configure Jellyfin from Menu > Playback. In “Hardware acceleration” I selected “Intel QuickSync (QSV)”. I have selected all but AV1 (not supported by my CPU) from “Enable hardware decoding from:” and from “Hardware encoding options:” I have enable all 3 of them.
