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.

    The main thing I like about containers is portability. Backup/copy your mounted folder with all the application’s data to any other system, point a new container of the same app to it and you’re up and running.

    All the other advantages mentioned already are a really nice bonus.
