Don't worry, most of this is about learning :) You could also put Docker on the Linux, install Jellyfin as a Docker container, and only fore it up when you are using Jellyfin. It's a little less convenient, than having it available all the time, but storing all media in H264 AC3 (most common video and audio codecs) costs a lot of storage (H265 and AV1 are far more efficient). Another pro of Docker is, when you decide to move your server, you just shut down the container, copy it's data and start the container on the new device
thanks for the info. Sounds like i need to find some tutorials on containers, Docker, Jellyfin....
I'd recommend finding a tutorial for Docker+Portainer - Portainer is a container as well, which provides a web-gui to conveniently manage all your other containers (without having to touch the CLI ever again)
