Hello, I yet again come, hat in hand, for assistance from those wiser in the ways of the Linux. I’m having a bit of an issue downloading Jellyfin on my ElementaryOS laptop. I’ve tried all the guide on the first few pages of ddg only to receive errors after entering the comman “ sudo apt-get update “. I get ERR:3 https//repo.jellyfin.org/debian circle Release 404 Not found.

If someone can point me the way I’d be most appreciative

      Once you know how to use docker/containerization it’ll be the only way you want to deploy applications. Most popular applications will also have good guides on how to setup/config the container, but sometimes you’ll need to read up on docker and Linux to figure things out.

        Containers are often simple enough you don’t even need a guide. I don’t trust myself to configure anything on the host system correctly, and using Docker containers completely solves concerns of conflicting dependencies during updates. I personally avoid hosting anything that isn’t available with Docker anymore. It’s just too much work for a worse result.

        Yeah I really need to do more reading. My lack of knowledge on Linux is my main issue I think. Just jumped the gun to Linux like a month ago, played around in elementary for a bit and was like “now is the time to set up my media server”. Prob needed more time, reading, and texting but eh.

        I appreciate the advice I’ve been getting here big time!

          Some of the commands I use a lot for debugging containers, in case you go down that route:

          • docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bash <image_name>
          • This command let’s you enter a docker image with bash so you can test commands and treat it like a temporary VM. Great way to see how the image is setup
          • docker exec -it <container_name>
          • This let’s you enter a running container with bash. A great way to inspect why something might not be working or check mounted volumes, etc.

            Also docker logs -f CONTAINERNAME to see the log output for non-interactive containers.

        I liked it until my docker desktop randomly stopped working. Made me uninstall docker and now I use podman instead. But yeah, pretty much the same.
