We are changing our system. We settled on git (but are open for alternatives) as long as we can selfhost it on our own machines. # Specs ## Must have - hosted on promise - reliabile - unlikely to be discontinued in the next >5 years - for a group of at least 20 people ## Plus - gui / windows integration

What would you recommend?

I can't get it to work. I wonder if it's the operating system. What system do you use it on? I'm on fedora.

I try to follow the docs but somehow it doesn't work as expected. How does your compose file look and what to choose in the settings? ### My current setup: (Not working) ```` services: # original source: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/container/ jellyfin: image: docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest container_name: jellyfin environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Europe/Berlin - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=https://my.url volumes: - ./config:/config:Z - ./cache:/cache:Z - ./media:/media:rw ports: - 8096:8096 # no need for https since reverse proxy and no local discovery restart: always device: - /dev/dri/:/dev/dri/:Z - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128:Z group-add: - 105 privileged: true ```` I do not want a privileged container but I'm experimenting. - VAAPI is selected - VA-API device: is set to `/dev/dri/renderD128` - enable hardware decoding for : H264, HEVC, HEVC 10bit and VP9 10 bit - enable hardware encoding - allow encoding in HEVC to get the group I ran `getent group render | cut -d: -f3` on the host which returned `105`. ```` $ podman exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo Trying display: drm libva info: VA-API version 1.21.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_21 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 vainfo: VA-API version: 1.21 (libva 2.21.0) vainfo: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 24.2.1 (0593864) vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints ```` This command returns VA-API does that mean I can only (or I should) select this method?

I updated to fedora 40. I am not sure if that is just a coincidence or if that's the reason. Should I downgrade to 39?

I assume it's not nvidia. Yet I have no idea how to differentiate between them and neither do I know what a good price is. Let's say I don't want to think about what the video type is. I just want a smooth experience. Edit: thank you guys!
