Jellyfin is everyone’s favourite open-source multimedia player. This guide goes over how to install it as a Podman Quadlet. This assumes you already have Podman setup for Quadlets. Follow this guide to setup Podman for Quadlets.
Create the container First, create and edit /etc/containers/systemd/jellyfin.container as sudo and paste the following.

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.
