As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup before upgrading!
Now, if only there was a simple, built-in way to backup/export and restore/import all settings and other data, so that all platforms could do this easily, without having to search the internet for which folders to back up...
FYI, this is the best we have atm (which is pretty terrible). Please correct me if there is a better way:
I run JF in a docker container, and although I don't have backups of my config files yet (because I don't really care about setting up from scratch if need be), it would be trivial to simply backup the mounted config volumes. Makes upgrading safe and easy, too.
That's probably how I would recommend going about this, personally.
I believe they're suggesting just doing a full backup up of your system/Docker container. Which isn't ideal, but I think they're trusting people who can run a Jellyfin server to be able to use the scripts.
Sure. But what if Docker is not available on a machine? What if the import should happen on a Linux machine coming from Windows? What if I want to sync two installations on different OSs?
I know it's all doable, but not easy, let alone foolproof. It's so easy to install, but genuinely not easy to keep safe without tech knowledge.
Syncing two instances sounds like a fun challenge. I think there's some project to replicate an sqlite db over the network. Similarly, you could use ceph or other distributed storage for the media.
I built something like this for Nextcloud a few years back, fun times.
Dual subtitles!!! That's a game changer for me
What’s the benefit of this? Is it two subtitles playing at the same time?
Yep. It's really useful for learning a new language
day 2 of building my trickplay images... 10.8% done lol
Any idea how the flatpak's are generated? When they might be updated?
If I were you I would move to podman. They are very similar but the big difference is that podman uses docker containers. Podman also runs as a local user just like flatpak
