Debian Gets Its Own PPA-Like System as Debusine Repositories Launch (linuxiac.com)

Debian developers now have an official way to publish and test add-on package repositories, as the Debusine project has opened its repository feature in public beta.

The new service, available at debusine.debian.net, allows Debian Developers and Debian Maintainers to create APT-compatible repositories that function similarly to the well-known Ubuntu’s PPAs but are built specifically for the Debian ecosystem.

Debusine itself is a relatively new project within Debian’s infrastructure. It was introduced publicly at DebConf and has been developed to modernize and unify Debian’s internal workflows for package building, testing, and quality assurance. Until now, much of this work has taken place behind the scenes. With the launch of repositories in beta, Debusine is becoming directly usable for day-to-day development tasks.

Was researching sitting up a Jellyfin server and it said Debian is best choice. Is that true?

I run Debian on my little laptop server (Nextcloud, Immich, and Radicale) and it works great. Lots of people say that Debian is really stable, which is good for these kind of things I think.

Really I set it up on my laptop and it works, but got steps on settings up Nextcloud and the rest?

[–] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Immich I set up using the docs mostly

I set my Nextcloud up with a tutorial by "LearnLinuxTV" (the one I watched was for Ubuntu, but I think he recently released a newer one for Debian)

Also, almost all tutorials about setting up stuff on Ubuntu will work with Debian too! Very useful when setting up Nextcloud...

You can pretty much set it and forget it with Debian. If memory serves, Jellyfin is available through extrepo, so super easy to set up.

I can't say whether it's the best or not but my Debian VM with Jellyfin Server has been working well for a few years without hiccups.

In my opinion yes, Debian is the best choice for server machines, especially on the homelab scale.
