Back for round 3 and this time my PC is dual booting windows and Linux(mint) so I’ve got 2 methods of trying this. I have failed at both. In the time since I tried to run Jellyfin a few months ago the install process has changed completely and I can’t even get it to boot. Windows I can’t even get the server to open. Linux I can get the client to work but the server throws up libicu67 is not satisfiable. I’m completely lost any help would be great
Edit one
No luck with the docker I keep getting a permission denied error
Edit two
God bless the terminal it appears to be working
Definitely use Docker. Here is one method. You can search for others.
I second docker. Very easy to get it up and running.
the install process has changed completely
The exact steps on how you tried to install it would help.
I’ve set it up using Docker, following a guide I found on YouTube at the time (it was one of the first thing I set up with Docker). It was really smooth sailing, and it is still running like a champ.
It sounds like you’re trying to do too much manual stuff. Anything self-hosted is rather complex by default. But, it is designed to be simple to manage and install, as long as you use the tools intended for it. Jellyfin is packaged in all sorts of ways, and each way aims at different use cases. If it’s going to run on your daily driver, best use docker to keep your desktop and the server separated, else it might complain of that sort of library compatibility issues.
