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.

    Yes, I also heard that he passed, and I really feel bad for the guy, he did an amazing job. Thanks for the link, I didn’t know there was a new place.
