Good server OS for Jellyfin (lemmy.world)

I want to make a server for hosting media through Jellyfin, and maybe some Nextcloud functionality. I prefer to use containers, but something like TrueNAS' extensions/plugins sound good as well. This is my first server, so I don't know what to choose. My possible options are:

  • Debian
  • Ubuntu
  • Fedora
  • TrueNAS Scale Which one should I choose? I am fine with using either Docker or Podman. (Edit: The server will be running on an old laptop with a single drive slot.)

OMV actually removed their portainer implementation, so if you want to run docker you just have to do it like any other distro.

Oh I didn't realize. I wonder why they would do that? Either way it's not a huge deal - the main problem with TrueNAS Scale is that you actively cannot install Docker onto it because it will conflict with the normal TrueNAS Scale app system. There are technically ways to get Docker working on a TrueNAS Scale system but they're unsupported and likely to break frequently on updates. Debian and OpenMediaVault should behave similarly in terms of getting Docker set up.

OP is saying wrong information. OMV6 still has Portainer implementation but they moved the setup. OP is probably not aware of it.

It is. At my time of setup it was just following the instructions from the docker wiki and then I could install the portainer plugin.

Actually they didn't....You should update your information.

Literally a screenshot from their UI:
