Linux & docker noob questions/review/suggestions.

[Trex]

do you prefer to run jellyfin in a docker container or native?

 

[_Dexter]

All of my services are running on docker. Only thing I am running natively is Pi-Hole (easier/better that way)

If you are not into those technical details, use Portainer to manage or create docker containers.

@Trex Here's how my homepage looks like

Same here, I run ubuntu on my i3nuc and rpi4b and everything in docker... im actually using this dns technitium now, initially i thought it was too technical for n00b like me, but actually seems almost more user-friendly than pihole to get configured and up and running quickly

 

[vishalrao]

btw i missed some posts about "homepage"... what is this? is it some sort of dashboard? can you post the link to the "homepage" of "homepage" haha

 

[_Dexter]

yeah, it's a dashboard with widget support Installation - Homepage

Installed jellyfin docker but don't know how to add folder from other other drive in library, please help.

Also, guys, what is your preferred Linux distro for Homelab?

 

[JB701]

you need to add volume in docker compose file to point to where the files are located

if you havent mounted the other drive do it with mount command, edit fstab to make it persistent on reboot (google it youll understand)

for example if your media is in /home/user/movies you can do

-v /home/user/movies:/movies

now your content will be in /movies from the perspective of the jellyfin container.

i like debian, works fine.
