Docker container or bare metal? (lemmy.eco.br)

I've been running jellyfin server on win10 but just got my hands on an old laptop that I turned into a ubuntu server.

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.

Ah, right. Jellyfin running inside the container won't know about anything happening outside of the container including any bare metal file system particulars, so you'll have to manage mounts in the docker-compose file. AFAIK The official docker compose tutorial is pretty good but let me know if you need help!
