Hi!

So I installed jellyfin on Bazzite as per this video.

But he didn't explain how to update the server. Could you maybe tell me how you did it with your server? Maybe it could help me figure out how to update mine as well.

The video uses quadlets, which afaik, is just using systemd units to run containers via podman. Therefore, you can just run

podman stop jellyfin (podman ps to get the actual name of the jellyfin container)

podman rm jellyfin

podman pull docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

systemctl restart jellyfin.container (or whatever you called your unit when you set it up)

Quick google says you can setup auto updates if you want: https://major.io/p/podman-quadlet-automatic-updates/

Caveat: I am a docker compose user, I may have missed something due to lack of familiarity with quadlets/podman

It worked! Thanks so much!

I suppose I'll start looking into docker/containers/quadlets etc, so I actually understand what I am using lol

You're correct.

The only time I can think of that this approach wouldn't work is if the quadlet config file specified a tag/version on the image setting besides latest. That is, if the quadlet file specified something like Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:a_old_version. I usually stick with latest on mine.

EG: Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

Poke around through the dash. I imagine it's in the GUI there. Probably under a menu like 'system' or 'about'.

Thanks for the reply!

Sadly I can't find anything, unless I am super blind.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ahh bummer. Not sure exactly then. Might have to hop in the terminal and try an --update or find an equivalent with--help. The documentation in the git repo should tell you if nothing else.

podman stop jellyfin (podman ps to get the actual name of the jellyfin container)

podman rm jellyfin

podman pull docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

systemctl restart jellyfin.container (or whatever you called your unit when you set it up)

This suggestion from another commenter worked! Apparently quadlets work with Podman in the background.

Ahh baller man. Glad you got it sorted! And thanks for sharing the fix
