Consolidate Multiple Docker Volumes Without Losing Metadata - _Nick - 2025-05-13
Hi,
I'm setting up the Arr apps for my Jellyfin server. Rule 101 from the Servarr documentation strongly encourages a single unified path for media.
I currently have media split across 7 different internal Docker volumes. I want to consolidate everything under a single unified path and manage folder organisation from within Jellyfin itself.
The challenge: I can't find a way to do this without losing Scanned in Date, watch history, or user data. Jellyfin seems to treat path changes as if the media is entirely new, even though I know it uses GUIDs, not paths, as primary keys in its Database.
I even considered starting fresh but couldn't find a clean way to migrate users (with passwords). Has anyone successfully moved media across volumes or migrated the minimum user data required for server continuity?
Thank you kindly.
