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.
I would suggest giving Proxmox a go and virtualise your VMs, as you can easily make snapshots and recover if something goes south.
You can also check https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ containing easy deployable scripts to make your life easier.
I would also try to run everything out of Docker compose and create a repo containing all configuration files.
RIP tteck
