docker-jellyfin VS overseerr

The container's Dockerfile is based on Ubuntu Jammy and performs a straight-up install of the debs from repo.jellyfin.org, so it'll be the same as on any Debian-based system, indeed /var/lib/jellyfin/plugins.

The Linuxserver.io image is, first of all, a 3rd party unofficial image, but with our blessing. They take a base Ubuntu OS image and install our official Ubuntu packages in the Docker environment. On startup it also executes the same binary in the end, so functionally, to anyone who doesn't know any different, they're the same: you get Jellyfin out in the end.

Are you using Docker? If so you’ll probably need to expose the device through to Docker too. Instructions for Pi here, which may or may not work: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-jellyfin

I'm on an Arch Linux host with linuxserver image (J4005 with UHD600). OpenCL tone mapping does not work out of the box. I have to add DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-opencl-intel , per this GitHub issue, as an additional environment flag to my docker-compose.yml file, lest ffmpeg complains about not able to find device ocl@va.

If you don't want to migrate to the official one, just wait for https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-jellyfin/pull/155

Overseerr: Tracks and manages requests (Plex only).

Overseerr to take requests and import them to Radarr and Sonarr.

I suppose this is the site: https://overseerr.dev/

There are add-ons like Overseer that let users request and automatically download new shows/movies

Well you could look at overseer. Its bot exactly you want but It shows release dates and upcoming movies so maybe semi-solution.

Wow, earlier today I was annoyed by this lack of function and actually commented on a request to add this natively to Overseerr. Unfortunately this has been denied by the developers without reasoning. (https://github.com/sct/overseerr/issues/1964)
