libraries disconnect every couple weeks - kv3d - 2025-01-31

hello world

my libraries (movies, shows and music) get disconnected every other week or so. this is very, very frustrating. im new to nas-ing. been messing around with it for the past year or two. in my opinion ive set it all up correctly. when it happens i checked the logs and fed it to chat gpt and it told me that there were no errors or things related to loosing libraries. i also flew over it and i didnt see anything that would indicate such a thing.
at this point i really think its jellyfin itself. how can all my other apps work flawlessly but jellyfin does this every other week. its insane. it happened 4 times now.

what should i provide here to get to the bottom of this? is it because i do scubs on truenas scale? î also do smart tests and take snapshots. i cant imagine that those things would do such a thing. quick workd on my hardware i guess. i gutted a older laptop and i use a m.2 to sata controller. i have 3 sata ssds connected to it. runs smooth and dead silent. no issues for at least a year. and jellyfin does work nicely apart from this issue.

please, anything. much appreciated

Can you share screenshots of how the Jellyfin container is configured in TrueNAS?

of course.

It looks like you have the config, cache, and transcode directories all in the same root folder on the host. Meaning that all of these folders are intermingling. The cache and transcode folders have daily cleanup jobs that are almost certainly deleting files that shouldn't be deleted in the config folder.

config, cache, and transcode should be in their own folders to ensure separation.

config should be located in /mnt/gurke_pool_01_SSD/apps/jellyfin/config
cache should be located in /mnt/gurke_pool_01_SSD/apps/jellyfin/cache
transcodes should be located in /mnt/gurke_pool_01_SSD/apps/jellyfin/transcodes

Or something like that.

hm, not really. in this video the guy does the same thing. he points config, cache and transcodes to the one single jellyfin dataset. jellyfin creates folders on its own. i did what you said and it created a duplicate installation within my jellyfin folder. now i have to set everyrthing up again. unless i did something wrong but i did it the way he did in the video.
