From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello, I yet again come, hat in hand, for assistance from those wiser in the ways of the Linux. I’m having a bit of an issue downloading Jellyfin on my ElementaryOS laptop. I’ve tried all the guide on the first few pages of ddg only to receive errors after entering the comman “ sudo apt-get update “. I get ERR:3 https//repo.jellyfin.org/debian circle Release 404 Not found.

If someone can point me the way I’d be most appreciative

Install docker, grab the official docker compose file, then docker compose up -d.

Details: Look up how to install docker on elementary (I guess it's sudo apt install docker), than you don't have to care about the distro after that, docker works the same way everywhere. You can find countless tutorials on this, and they should work

Yeah using docker is the most reliable way to do it

I liked it until my docker desktop randomly stopped working. Made me uninstall docker and now I use podman instead. But yeah, pretty much the same.
