If you’re willing to give Docker a shot (I’d never used it before either), this is what I used to get started. I’ve tweaked some stuff since then, but I feel like this is a good start for beginners.

I’ll also recommend Docker and in particular the “linuxserver” containers. They release containers for all the *arr apps, jellyfin, etc. and they’re all configured similarly, which makes things easier.

docker sounds scary but its dead easy, and makes keeping things updated a synch !
