The last post on the subject I could find was a year ago. So thought I would ask again. I have debian 12 up on miniPC and I have my NAS mounted. My intention is to use jellyfin and some of the arr* stuff. I know only a little about systemd (I just google what I need to know). I have some contianer knowledge, but mostly in k8s. And the docker parts aren't really my problem. But I have a vague understanding of docker. What are the latest pros and cons of containers vs service installation?

Edit: The opinions were unanimous. Containers it is.

And you are using a reverse proxy because you want to expose jellyfin to the general internet? And you don't want to have to trust jellyfin's security (which is very reasonable) ?

Yup. I also use Authelia as a middleware for additional TOTP 2FA.
Only downside: It breaks any app support as I can't just expose the API and be done with it. So remote playback is not possible and right now VPN is too mich of a hassle to set up.
