I have a Podman container with Jellyfin running in it. It runs fine without SELinux, but it always crashes whenever SELinux is enabled. This will be an instance that will only be accessible in my private network.
Should I:
figure out how to use SELinux with Podman
uninstall SELinux
use a different server distro (Debian, Ubuntu)
If I should figure out SELinux, please point me to some resources as I could not find anything easy enough for me through a simple Google search.
Just make sure to mount your volumes with the :z or :Z flags. I have disabled SELinux on servers in the past, but never when I’ve just used podman containers, since “it just works” with SELinux. Literally never had any problems with containers and SELinux.

SELinux is one of the first things I disable. It causes way more problems than it solves.
All my workloads are containerised so I’ll trust the security of that machinery to sandbox them instead
