  • We’re going to need to know as a minimum:

    • Linux distribution and version
    • Jellyfin install method and version
    • what you have already tried- not sure where all those flags are coming from

    I would also support the comments here recommending that you use docker. There’s only a small number of Linux distributions and versions where a distribution package installation of jellyfin is fully supported, but even then what you need to do varies across each one. All Linux distributions and versions support docker and the process is essentially the same for all of them.


  • Ok, aside from Android, I’ve yet to see any serious usage of SELinux in the real world and I’ve been working on cloud tech for years. Acknowledged issues such as complexity aside, it’s really just that much less relevant in a modern, single purpose environment such as Docker/kubernetes/cloud functions/etc



  • You could consider

    • Cord: had some contact from companies leading to interviews but also some contact me and then ghost on response
    • Otta: more manageable search than LinkedIn
    • Hackajob: been a waste of time for me

    Linkedin is still the big gun. Really don’t like how they game everything around job hunting, or the endless sea of Indian recruiters from Hyderabad pretending to be in UK/USA who can barely speak English and ‘have a requirement…’ but clearly have no concept of geography.











  • My reason for stipulating that is that lot of people saying it do so either from ignorance (they simply don’t believe/understand that you might not be able to opt out) or on the basis of outdated information, e.g. “I bought my TV ten years ago and never had to do this”. Your experience being in the recent past I guess I could try this as a sale stipulation point, thanks.









  • I’m sorry to say but it’s Windows. You never really know. Have you considered getting an old optiplex on Amazon Renewed and putting Debian and Jellyfin on that?

    Update for the people downvoting:

    I am a professional platform engineer. By ‘Windows. You never really know’ I mean that there are always ten thousand things running, you’re never going to have a full grasp of everything that’s happening in the way that you could with a stripped down linux environment. My own Jellyfin instance is running on

    • Intel® Core™ i5-4590S CPU @ 3.00GHz
    • 8GB RAM
    • Integrated Graphics
    • Shipped AUG 2014
    • Ubuntu 22.04 with deb installation of Jellyfin
