Hey all after a few months of giving up on trying to get my server to run I tried again and made it even worse. On a tutorial I was watching it suggested changing the port number. It appears this was a mistake as I can no longer access my sever even after uninstalling the program and reinstalling it. I’ve been fighting it for about a hour if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this mess please let me know

I’m running my server on a laptop running Linux Mint cinnamon

    I wish it were that easy. I’m fairly computer competent, comfortable enough in the Linux command line to follow any tutorials, and Google my way through most problems I run into.

    But docker? Dang. Maybe once you figure it out, you forget how hard it was to learn. But that learning curve is STEEP. I banged my head against that wall for like a week before giving up. Everything is so abstracted away. I’m baffled every time it’s recommended to newbies as easier than other options, especially when those newbies are struggling with ports of all things (no offense to OP).

    Maybe I’m just dumb I guess 🤷‍♂️

      Nope, I had the same experience. I don’t know how many tutorials for set up of docker and jellyfin via docker that I read/watched and tried. Eventually I found one that worked, but I am still in that steep part of the curve after having successfully set up a few containers. That said, it has worked flawlessly since install, so…
