Thanks for the explanation. That sounds quite promising. I updated Ubuntu one time and it basically broke a python project environment to where I had to reinstall the previous os again. Then of course reinstall everything else too.

I'm interested, What exactly is UBlue? Can you clarify on the immutable thing?

Personally, I run the following:

Hardware:

  • Mini PC (beelink but used to use raspberry pi)
  • 1tb external drive for now

Software/OS

  • proxmox (so I can virtuaize what I Host on one machine)
  • Ubuntu server in a VM
  • jellyfin (media server)
  • tailscale (to access my server from anywhere)

One of the top comments mentions starting with plex. I also recommend that. Jellyfin is cool but plex makes a lot of features such as sharing and subtitles much easier. You also can with jellyfin but it's much more technical. The only reason I went away from it was I felt the direction plex was going seemed a little too commercial for me. And I also like to use open source when I can.
