Hey everyone, I’m planning on setting up my first home server this year. Going to use an old Dell Optiplex with a couple 4tb SSD’s.
I only need two services running. Jellyfin and immich. I’ve tested this out in a debian netinstall VM and it works.
Just looking for helpful hints or advice etc. I’m a long time Linux and BSD user and I’m tempted to try it out using Alpine Linux or even NetBSD (my daily driver os) but I thought I’d be sensible and go with Debian for… Stability?
Anyway, immich is run in a container whereas jellyfin has a binary install. Apparently you can run jellyfin in a container also, not sure I really need to tho?
Thank you for any hints or advice.
Not sure how popular of an opinion this is these days, but unraid is dead simple to use. It’s not free, and I think they changed their licensing since I got it, but damn is it nice. Just go to the app store, pick out what you want, fill out a form for ports and such and ban, docker containers spin up with everything you need.
Unraid was worth every cent.
