Simple guide to setting up Jellyfin+*arr on an OrangePi (ARMbian)

I’m looking to setup a media server with Jellyfin+*arr for my home. My LG tv has Jellyfin app already. Is there a tutorial, or script to install all the necessary tools on my SBC?

I haven't used an ARM system, but docker might be the best bet? Get docker installed and find instructions for install Jellyfin and each arr program.

- DockSTARTer takes most of the work out of setting up and maintaining a docker -arr suite. The guys that maintain it are great too.

"TRaSH Guides" might be worth checking out. I am not aware of any script that takes care of all settingsy but if you follow their guides it should be pretty easy to set everything up correctly. I assume you' be using docker or docker-compose

DietPi is the perfect OS with easy install software for Pis of all flavours.
- This it's very reasonable too..

Install docker and docker-compose. Then I suggest installing portainer (also docker) to manage all docker containers. From there you just need your docker-compose.yaml for each stack, basically you copy-paste in WEB GUI, do some adjustments, hit deploy and you are done :D You want 2 stacks:
Jellyfin (install this first, its simple and easier to start with)
arr stack (trash guides, and more info on wiki.servarr.com)
- Is that better than the official Jellyfin container?
  
  I actually installed it by followong a guide, later on I figured there is also an official container, but never had a reason to switch. linuxserver.io is quite reputable, using their containers (nextcloud, arr stack and more) for more than a year with no issues at all.

Use docker
- What is a docker? How does one set one up?
  I used Ubuntu for my rrr downloaders with plex because it's what i was familiar with. What benefit would there be?
  
  Docker it's a software which allows you to run containers(apps) into a server(or desktop) WO too much hassle and compatibility issues, docker containers comes with everything needed to run the program independent of which distro you are using, you just need the docker image be available for your architecture and you will be able to run the container on any software/hardware you have.
  In Armbian+orange pi you just need to install docker(I suggest you to use docker.io package over debían derivates like Armbian), restart your server and then run the "docker run" command:
  Sudo apt install docker.io
  Sudo restart -f
  And then run the docker command and it will download, install and run the container into your server(make sure you use the appropriate flags into it).
  I suggest you to read some information about the use of docker on servers for you to get more into it's use.
  Pray&luck 🙏🤞.

I’m very happy with ansible-NAS! https://ansible-nas.io/
It takes some extra time to understand and configure up front on another computer, but once you do, reimaging the server in case of problems takes a single command.

Turn out you can install Ubuntu on the Opi zero2 so I did that and going with docker install following TRaSH turorial

Something like KIUAH for 3D printing that manages install and update and configure of all dependencies would be awesome.

  Klipparr: To manage your STL and G-code files in an organized library. lol this would be awesome!!! It would pull models from Printable, Thingiverse, yeggy and others and store them in a personal library along with your own Fusion designs….

I use YunoHost. You just click install for the application you want and it does everything for you.
