These are build logs. I will write steps, random words and thoughts, problems I find & solutions I find, so that others or myself in the future can benefit.
Starting my self-hosting journey with a media server, much like I did the first time when I set up Plex way-back-when. This time I will be going with Jellyfin. Lost the configuration guide page I had on Reddit from last night, so I’ve just spent 45 minutes going through my history and apparently still can’t find it.
Installed Docker Desktop. No clue what I am doing yet beginner tutorials seem to think I already know. Time to learn more.
12/11/24 – kinda gave up got way too busy at work. Computer recently fried that I had just barely started this on, so now I will need to redo that as well. That’s good though because I didn’t really research what I wanted to use for software first and just started installing a bunch of random shit.
I guess I’ll restart this project with a list of what I want to be able to do then go from there.
