I created this guide on how to install Jellyfin as a Podman Quadlet on your server. Enjoy.
this guide, and the previous one, have a lot of weird superfluous steps. like, why use a command that includes nvim and then ask people to change it instead of just saying “edit the file”? why symlink systemd stuff to your own home directory?
the info is good, but having to separate the actually useful stuff from things that are specific to your config makes it less useful.
I’m still learning how to write good posts. I’ll this into consideration for the next one.
your writing overall is good! it’s just a matter of information priority.
here’s a tip, dunno how applicable it is but i use it when writing technical documentation:
for each step, explain to yourself why you’re doing it the way you are. if it turns out you caused the step to be needed, rather than it being required, you probably need to rethink, or at least add the explanation to the text.
I rewrote my original quadlet article, can you have a look and let me know what you think? https://ericthomas.ca/posts/setting-up-podman-quadlets/
