1. Install Ubuntu 22.04 server
  2. execute install-debuntu.sh

That is kind of it. 

curl -s https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

just go to server IP:8096 and add media folder + enable HW acceleration for transcoding for my Intel N200 VA-API works and QSV is not.

some additional

apt install intel-gpu-tools

is not necessary. but just to verify that hardware acceleration is in use

transcoding uses jellyfin-ffmpeg with vaapi on Alder Lake (N200) CPU/GPU
