Thanks for the effort of posting this, but I'm not sure what this solves. Deploying Jellyfin is easy. DRI is easy. Configuring it, herding my library structure, making sure I have friendly file formats, getting the myriad client devices to work, subtitles...

At one point a friend told me "I just went through the Trash guides once and job done". I spent a half hour looking at them, then another half hour giving that stuff ago and threw my hands up in the air and went back to Plex to watch some stuff after a wasted hour.

I found that side easy and the compose file config to be the tricky bit personally, but I have android devices or linux devices, no more exotic things like roku. My directory structure was already /tv/tv show name/season/episode and /movies/movie name/file.mkv/mp4/etc so it just worked. Subtitles was a pretty easy plugin built into jellyfin and maybe an api key (it's been a while I don't really remember).
