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 really like running proxmox and then containers for my apps, proxmox being basically Debian already.

      Explain proxmox to me like I’m 5. Is it a VM? I see a bunch of scripts on their website, but i’m confused…

      Nevermind, I had an LLM explain it to me. This looks like the go!

      Would you run both containers (jellyfin & immich) inside the same VM? or create a separate VM for each service?
