I’m going to be running a Jellyfin server, and I don’t want to maintain it a lot, I just want it to work. Would using Docker be the easier way to maintain Jellyfin, or would using Podman be better? (I don’t want to deal with SELinux, firewalls, port forwarding, etc.)
SELinux should not be an issue if you stick to common directories and use :Z flag after the mount path with docker, afaik podman uses the same mechanism. There’s even a tool for selinux container policies: github.com/containers/udica
Regarding firewall stuff, disable it on your machine and you are fine. Port forwarding in containers is necessary to connect to services, now way around.
Ah and read this: stopdisablingselinux.com
It has a reason why it exists.

They do effectively the same, but most software is build with docker in mind. podman should work but be prepared for some frustration using it.
docker nor podman fix your firewall or port for you by the way
