I got Jellyfin up and running, itโs 10/10. I love this thing, and it reinvigorated my love for watching movies. So I decided to tackle all the other services I wanted, starting with Paperless-ngxโฆ
What a nightmare. It doesnโt have a Windows install so I made an Ubuntu VM. Donโt get me started on Ubuntu. I just spent about 12hrs trying to get Portainer to cooperate and had to give up. I tried just installing Paperless the โnormal wayโ and had to give up on that too.
My point: if youโre getting started selfhosting you have to embrace and accept the self-inflicted punishment. Good luck everybody, I donโt know if I can keep choosing to get disappointed.
Edit: good news! Almost everything I wanted to do is covered by Jellyfin which can be done in Windows.
