Start jellyfin server on startup - mallusrgreat - 2025-04-19

Jellyfin Server is installed as an app. I can open it to start the server, but I need it to start on computer startup. There doesn't seem to be any services such as jellyfin or jellyfin-server in systemctl.

I installed Jellyfin Server through install-debuntu.sh script.

What is the output of this command?

Code:
sudo systemctl status jellyfin

Unit jellyfin.service could not be found.

Note that I can start the server by going to the Menu (in Linux Mint), searching for Jellyfin Server, and starting it.

Are you sure you installed Jellyfin with the debuntu script you mentioned? It would create a service. It sounds like you've installed the server flatpak.

Code:
flatpak list | grep -i jellyfin

I installed the server from flatpak.
How can I make it work??

Result:
flatpak list | grep -i jellyfin
