I’m a novice Linux user. Comfortable with command line but far from a whiz. Have to duckduckgo a lot of stuff to figure out what I’m doing.
I just bought a WD EX2 Ultra. The Plex app is built in, but it looks like the other stuff I want to do will require Docker containers. Maybe I just need to devote more time to learning containers but, at first look, it all seems quite daunting.
Here’s what I want to set up. Jellyfin for music, tv & movies. Audiobookshelf for podcasts. The Servarr suite for library collection and management. VPN for security and privacy.
Am I swinging too big for my skill level, or does this seem doable? Any suggestions on how to proceed? Any and all feedback is welcome!
Take your time and don’t hang your hat on anything until you’ve run it for a while yourself before you subject your family to it, no matter how excited you are. You’ll just get people wary of trying your projects if it’s always failing, unless you have someone that knows how these things go and that you’re learning, and is willing to help you sort out bugs.
