Transcript

I want to start self-hosting my media. So let's get Jellyfin installed in my homelab. Let's get our containers spun up using Portainer. Navigating to the IP of our Jellyfin server. Here we can do our basic setup. I ran into some issues. Might be due to the limited resources I have allocated for my VM. I might try this on Proxmox, LXC if possible, or just give my VM more resources. This is how the final product should look like. We can add our movies, shows, music, and more.
