I’m going to be running a Jellyfin server, and I don’t want to maintain it a lot, I just want it to work. Would using Docker be the easier way to maintain Jellyfin, or would using Podman be better? (I don’t want to deal with SELinux, firewalls, port forwarding, etc.)

    SELinux should not be an issue if you stick to common directories and use :Z flag after the mount path with docker, afaik podman uses the same mechanism. There’s even a tool for selinux container policies: https://github.com/containers/udica

    Regarding firewall stuff, disable it on your machine and you are fine. Port forwarding in containers is necessary to connect to services, now way around.

    Ah and read this: https://stopdisablingselinux.com/

    It has a reason why it exists.
