I’ve been running jellyfin server on win10 but just got my hands on an old laptop that I turned into a ubuntu server.

my question is, is there any advantage on running jellyfin in a docker container?
I suppose it might be easier to get it up running, but might be more wasteful?
Also since it is all in containers, would be easier to troubleshoot or to just kill it and start anew.

    Containers are nice because it’s harder for the container to leave behind files scattered across the filesystem. It’s also generally easier to upgrade, since your package manager is likely to only have a single version.

      Yeah this is so much more convenient.
