From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How did you install jellyfin?
It should not core-dump (read: hard crash, something has gone terribly wrong), at best you should get a configuration error and errors like that.
You can see the logs of any systemd service/unit with this:
journalctl -u <name of sevice>
so in this casejournalctl -u jellyfin
(Tip: add-f
to follow the output of a running service - useful for monitoring).Note that some programs log to their own files (and not to stdout) so if the above command comes out empty you should look into
/var/log/
directory.
