Jellyfin and Sonos

I have a couple of Sonos speakers, and I am quite happy with them. I do not have a windows box, but I manage them from my android apps, and from Noson on my linux box. Big kudos to the person behind the Noson app – it works really great.
However the changes Sonos made, first med my music collection unsearchable, and after they have fixed that, then the new inde is impossible – Albums with different artists will have one entry per artist.
Looking around, I decided to try Jellyfin media server, although it seems there has been issues getting it to work with Sonos.
Installing Jellyfin was easy, and after a couple of permission issues, it could also scan my music collection.
I installed it on my laptop, just to see if it worked, and it worked great. It natively found my Sonos speakers, and even found my Samsung TV. Great!
So no I can use Jellyfin as a media player on my laptop, which runs linux mint 21.3.
Decided to put it on my server instead, and did so. But now it could not see any DLNA devices. My server runs mint 20 – so that could be the problem.
Should I upgrade my server, which also runs Nextcloud and Piwigo? – or should I just use Jellyfin as a media player?
Seems I have some decisions to make.
