The 'config file' info on the webpage is for editing after installation if you need to change settings; it's not for deployment. Just ignore that for now.

If you don't provide any logs/screenshots, you're gonna have a hard time getting help from anyone. Redo the install with the verbose option enabled and share the relevant output.

If the installer succeeds, enter the container (pct enter <CTID>) and run journalctl -xeu jellyfin and let us know what the output is.

So I can't reproduce your issue - jellyfin not running etc. I just ran the installer and I have jellyfin. There is no username or password required - nothing is setup yet.

But I do owe you an apology, because the information on the website is wrong - there is no file in /root/.config/jellyfin - in fact there is not even /root/.config at all. So that needs to be changed.

We have jellyfin-related locations at /etc/jellyfin (configuration) and /var/lib/jellyfin (metadata, plugins, cache etc).
