Podman, can't install Jellyfin and run it on boot
I'm trying to run a Jellyfin config but I simply can't install it. Also, I'm trying to make it run on boot, as a service!
Just for more context, i'm following the steps in this article: https://mo8it.com/blog/quadlet/
And my jellyfin.container file is like this:
But my
systemctl --user start jellyfin
fails:
Job for jellyfin.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

You could make your life a little easier and just use the JellyfinServer flatpak https://flathub.org/apps/org.jellyfin.JellyfinServer. In then you can just add it to startup applications in the GUI (assuming that you using KDE) and you done.
That was my bad, it lacked context. I have many contaqined applications, like jellyfin, qbittorrent, Obsidina, Calibre and Calibre-web. They all have their respective folders with metada and configurations so whenever I change OSs I would just fire up docker and pull my images to those files.
So it is not just about jellyfin, having my containers working is my priority, but it isn't working right now, starting from jellyfin.
Flatpal would be fine, if I was able to make it use the config, cache and metadata from my container.
can you run it sucessfuly in podman?
That's the thing though. Usin quadlets it installed, but i can't aceess it on the browser, even though it sais the port is open.
So i'd guess something is up with my podman, maybe
i mean did you try running it using podman directly (not using quadlet), maybe the config are missing something or wrong
have you tried running netstat -tnlp to see if the port on your host is mapped and listening, if not it could be your hosts firewall
i was running an elasticsearch db locally for testing purposes in podman and still had to allow the ports through the host firewall
yep:
