I installed Jellyfin on my home server a few months ago but it’s already broken by upgrading to 10.11, and unusable until I restore 10.10 from backup or start over: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/15027. There seem to be lots of other database migration bugs for this release and other ones.

I use Docker on Linux for this kind of thing (Jellyfin, Nextcloud and a few others) and updates are completely trouble free. I would never deploy complex "black box" apps like Jellyfin bare metal. That being said, I do run my email stack bare metal as I want fine control. Everything is hosted at home on my own hardware and I would never consider moving my computing to the "cloud."

In FreeBSD you typically install them in a jail.

Yeah, I've been afraid to upgrade because I've been following these updates. I'm going to wait until the dust settles a bit before upgrading because, as stated, I don't really enjoy larping as a sysadmin anymore.
