my question is, is there any advantage on running jellyfin in a docker container?
I suppose it might be easier to get it up running, but might be more wasteful?
Also since it is all in containers, would be easier to troubleshoot or to just kill it and start anew.

I run it as a LXC container in Proxmox. I love how easy it is to make snapshots (takes literally 2 seconds) I can roll back to, and the whole thing is just so easy to work with.

If you don't have lots of self-hosted stuff, you probably won't run need to run something like Proxmox though. Docker is fine for Jellyfin. Do you use hardware transcoding?

I intend to use it, but will depend on the CPU because I don't have a GPU

I have transcoding working in LXC with Quicksync on the Intel CPU. It works well. Can be done.
