There are several options:
- Create a systemd service
+: Can launch application without logging in
-: Requires learning how to add a systemd service
- Autostart application on startup
+: Easy
-: Requires logging in before it starts
- Use system Docker container
+: Quite easy
-: Works without logging in
- Use Podman container with systemd-service
+: Doesn’t require root permissions
I recommend going with Docker because Flatpak isn’t really meant for server applications.
Just a small note: docker can also run rootless for a while. The configuration is slightly convoluted, but can be done.
Use the instructions in the docs for making a service file but replace the jellyfin binary with the flatpak binary (with the jellyfin run arguments)
Sounds complicatad but i will try it. Tnx for answer!
I’d have thought it was less hassle to use the jellyfin OCI container in either docker or podman. podman will even generate the systemd service file for you
Isnt docker kind of virtualisation? Is it realy required for this? I would expect flatpak to have a way of autostarting software… 🤔🤷♂️
Thank you all for answers <3 I will try it and report if i need help.
lemmy is realy an awsome forum!
