I've been using jellyfin for years.

My best recommendation is DELAY UPDATES and back up before you update.

I have a history of updates breaking everything so you should be careful about them.

All software recommends backing up before an update, but for jellyfin the shit is real, you really want to back up.

I have Jellyfin running for years too and it has never broken for me, I use Linuxserver image, so maybe they delay the updates a bit?... Now, Immich has broken so many times that nowadays is the only docker I don't keep at latest (and I know using latest is a bad practice, I understand the reasons, but the convenience of not worrying about the versions beats all that for me)

Updating immich brings excitement into my life :)

I've been using jelly since just after the emby fork and never had an update issue on docker. Automatic snapshots every 5 mins (amoung other backup tools). means I don't need to worry much if it does.

Like the version or the media?

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I have it on docker with two volumes, ./config and ./cache

I back up those before each update.

A bad Jellyfin update should not mess with your media folder in anyway. Though you should have backups of those aswell as a rule of thumb.

With respect to the media, you can mount the volume as read only, preventing Jellyfin from accidentally wiping your underlying content.

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

the config and databases or the media, you mean?

if so, the former, but I mount the meadia with a read only docker volume just to be sure, because chances are I would never notice it
