jellyfin server - adamd505 - 2025-03-12

To provide some history.

I had installed Jellyfin server on my Fedora machine several months ago, but had to remove it for disk space issues (dnf remove jellyfin)

I finally got around to reinstalling it (dnf install jellyfin).

I tried to visit it with my browser to get started, http://192.168.10.8:8096, my previous server was still there, despite having removed jf months ago.  I deleted it and added a new one, hoping to get a fresh start, but I get a login screen.  My old un/pw doesn't work, and I have no idea what to enter.

I've tried removing jf several times now with no luck getting a truly fresh start, unless this looks right, having a login screen, not a wizard.  In my attempts to remove jf, I also went through and deleted all the files that dnf remove jellyfin missed, and just to be completely sure, I then did `find / -iname '*jellyfin*', there was absolutely nothing left...I reinstal and still I get a login screen and I don't know what to enter.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think I figured it out. Oddly, when I try from a private browser window, I get the wizard, but when I try refreshing without cache in my normal browser, I still get the login screen. Whatever, this looks like it'll work.
I can't see how to delete my original question, so I'll just post this response and mark it as Solved if that's an option for me.
