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.

    Do you recommend ucore or ucore-minimal?

    So installing looks a bit convoluted. How do you install uCore? Install Silverblue and then rebase to uCore?

      Haha, you’re not wrong about it seeming a little extra to get installed.

      I used coreos live ISO and coreos-installer with the ignition file produced from a ucore-autorebase.butane file. I lightly edited the example butane file with the ssh keys I wanted to use, password hash, and “ucore-minimal:stable-nvidia” since I’ve got an old 1060 gpu in the server for jellyfin.
