    There are several options:

    • Create a systemd service

    +: Can launch application without logging in

    -: Requires learning how to add a systemd service

    • Autostart application on startup

    +: Easy

    -: Requires logging in before it starts

    • Use system Docker container

    +: Quite easy

    -: Works without logging in

    • Use Podman container with systemd-service

    +: Doesn’t require root permissions

    I recommend going with Docker because Flatpak isn’t really meant for server applications.

        It’s much more chill than you think. Leave more comments if you want help

    I’d have thought it was less hassle to use the jellyfin OCI container in either docker or podman. podman will even generate the systemd service file for you

      Isnt docker kind of virtualisation? Is it realy required for this? I would expect flatpak to have a way of autostarting software… 🤔🤷‍♂️

        Docker/podman are not virtualisation, they are containerisation. The system groups all the processes into a namespace and executes them on the same host/kernel as the base system. There is no overhead of virtualisation as its not creating virtual hardware or running a whole OS. Its more like the flatpak you’re already running than a vm

        Docker and Flatpack are both containerization technologies and work in similar ways under the hood. Docker is more geared towards running headless services that other systems access while flatpack is more geared towards desktop gui applications that are interacted with from the same system they run on.
