Accidentally deleted system.xml - FacundoLodeiro - 2025-01-21

Hello! Total newbie here as you can tell by the title.

I was trying to fix an error on my server, I couldn't access after exceeding my storage capacity. Trying to fix this I came across some weird "fixes" that suggested I delete migrations.xml and system.xml. Me being a total noob, and also being way sleepy, deleted them without making a backup.

Allegedly, Jellyfin would "recreate" this .xml files when started, but the thing won't start, when checking the service status I get:

Code:
jellyfin.service: Start request repeated too quickly.

jellyfin.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'.

Failed to start jellyfin.service - Jellyfin Media Server.

I found this fix: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-xml-document-error-after-upgrade?pid=29940#pid29940 which seems promising, but now I lack those two .xml files.

Is there any way to get them back, download them from somewhere or something?
I'm using Ubuntu Server.

Code:
sudo systemctl stop jellyfin

sudo chown -R jellyfin: /etc/jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin /var/cache/jellyfin /usr/share/jellyfin

sudo systemctl start jellyfin

Not sure what else you did, but Jellyfin doesn't have write permission to /etc/jellyfin. The above commands ensure that Jellyfin owns its directories.
