Hi i am trying to install jellyfin server on Debian testing Trixie via script from download page on jellyfin.org.
But i get this error. Is there a guide how to fix this?

Found the following details from '/etc/os-release':
Real OS: debian

Repository Release: trixie
CPU Architecture: amd64
If this looks correct, press <Enter> now to continue installing Jellyfin.

There are only packages for stable and old-stable
https://repo.jellyfin.org/?path=/server/debian

You can try using docker instead

I tested this script and same fault. In script it says that Trixie is supported.

The reason i run debian testing is fore i have activate intel Vgpu in proxmox and Debian 12 are to old for the drivers

RE: Install server on Debian testing Triexie - Generator - 2025-05-03

What script?

Have you tried the official installation?
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux

If you're running on proxmox why not install on Ubuntu server instead, that could probably soulve the GPU issue

that official installation has a script, in that script

Code:
# Lists of supported architectures, Debian, and Ubuntu releases

SUPPORTED_ARCHITECTURES='@(amd64|armhf|arm64)'

SUPPORTED_DEBIAN_RELEASES='@(bullseye|bookworm|trixie)'

SUPPORTED_UBUNTU_RELEASES='@(focal|jammy|noble)'

note the

Code:
SUPPORTED_DEBIAN_RELEASES='@(bullseye|bookworm|trixie)''

i am also having this issue, looking through the repository, it definitely does not have any debian 13 (trixie) binaries, installing the debian12 binaries manually with dpkg can work, although it requires a lot of dependency hell

Trixie support was just added three weeks ago: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-repo-helper-scripts/commit/7cdc7d5bf09dbad0f264703f9f418b0db4b1762c

@joshuaboniface Should this be working?

The same issue is plaguing me. The install script does detect Trixie, and it does install the Trixie mirror.
However, the only packages in that mirror are two ffmpeg variants, but nothing else.
This leads to the script failing as follows:

> > Installing Jellyfin.
> Error: Unable to locate package jellyfin

For the time being, I copied the sources file the script installs to a version that refers bookworm.
(The install script overwrites the original one every run.)
Re-running the install script now continues installing jellyfin, albeit the variant of the bookworm mirror.
At first sight, the installation works using this workaround.

As to why I am taking this approach: I have an Intel Arc A310, which needs a slightly newer kernel than bookworm offers, so I upgraded to Trixie.
I am also trying to get hardware acceleration to work, and as the docker containers are based on Bookworm, I figured a native installation on Trixie would reduce possible complexities and issues.

update: because of reasons not related to Jellyfin, I am switching over to Arch Linux for that machine, so I can give no further feedback on this setup, other than it seemed to work for the few hours and viewing sessions I used it for.

addendum / tangent: I had quite some issues with hardware transcoding, but ultimately I had it working with regular mpeg2 sources (DVD). What did not work was converting my HEVC 10bit source (BD UHD). If I run into those issues once more, I'll create a dedicated thread after searching the forum some more. ;-)

Adding +1 to this thread.

Having the same issue, and need to use Debian Trixie for newer kernel.

RE: Install server on Debian testing Triexie - conor - 2025-08-01

Use stable and install the bookworm-backports kernel.

Add to /etc/apt/sources.list:

Code:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

Install with:

Code:
sudo apt install -t bookworm-backports linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64

I registered an account just to bump this thread for another day in a row. Upgrading to Trixie broke my Jellyfin install and I'm having the same problem as there appears to be no Trixie package in the repo despite the install script being configured for Trixie. I'm aware there are workarounds posted in this thread.
