  • Take a distro with a package manager you are familiar with. Debian should do it.

    And try out docker it’s really easy to learn and straight forward.

    Jellyfin has a well documented docker compose.yml which is just a textfile that points out the facts like used versions, environment and volume paths.

    I did a transition from my docker compose tools to a new system in under an hour yesterday. All I had to do was backup the volumes or data paths. Firing up the containers looks like a new install but it’s just downloading the container and everything runs like before without losing any config.















  • I manage over 40 Debian clients in production use. All are managed with ansible. It’s the easiest time in my sysadmin time ever.

    My own systems are fedora and Debian unstable. Why? Because I test upcoming changes and features. And think how it would be if all 40 clients run on unstable or fedora, every day updates of 20-60 packages for nothing the user would care about.

    Debian stable is my hero.
