As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup before upgrading!

    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.
