I’m going to be running a Jellyfin server, and I don’t want to maintain it a lot, I just want it to work. Would using Docker be the easier way to maintain Jellyfin, or would using Podman be better? (I don’t want to deal with SELinux, firewalls, port forwarding, etc.)

I just want it to work
Use the APT repository
They do effectively the same, but most software is build with docker in mind. podman should work but be prepared for some frustration using it.
docker nor podman fix your firewall or port for you by the way
I haven’t used Jellyfin with docker before, just with podman and as a pod in k3s. Both work great and are easy to maintain. If you’re more familiar with podman then docker, then I’d recommend using podman.

I have used Docker, currently using Podman. Using literally the same compose file.
How do you use compose with Podman?
podman-composeis a made in Python, and is not official, but works great. Just rename yourdocker-compose.ymlfile topodman-compose.yml, and you’re good to go.Just rename it to compose.yml :)
podman-compose
