Can't get server to launch - grobleschmomble - 2025-04-07
Hi there!
I had a Jellyfin docker server working fine until a few days ago when the power went out.
Since my computer powered off, the stack had to be restarted. Ever since, I'm getting "502 bad gateway" when I try the domain name (because of swag) and unresponsive when I try to reach it by IP. This sounds like the server isn't even up.
What's weird is I didn't make any changes at all since restarting the server. Additionally, Jellyfin is in a stack with 13 other apps that all work perfectly fine and are all completely accessible. I've never had a problem with them until now.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Can you share your jellyfin logs via privatebin.net?

Stop the Jellyfin server.
In the config folder:
Rename the migrations.xml to migrations.xml.bak
Set IsStartupWizardCompleted to false in the system.xml file.
Restart server. Make sure to reset that value back to true once you get back in.

Hi, I tried this and it didn't work unfortunately. I renamed the file with .bak and then opened system.xml and IsStartupWizardCompleted was already set to false, restarted and was the same result. I also tried changing it to true with no luck

Try renaming all the XML files in that directory. Jellyfin will regenerate them with defaults.

Rename them by appending with .bak like the other one? Or just to something non-default?
EDIT: A little embarrassing, I was trying this with an old config folder that I had since changed to a different place, so these files were not affecting anything. I tried @theguymadmax 's suggestion again in the correct location and deleted that old config folder to eliminate confusion and it's working like a charm!! Thank you guys
