Jellyfin doesn't start after reboot - Met - 2025-05-14
Hi, new to Jellyfin here, trying to install it on an RPi5.
I used the command provided, and setup the libraries, but at some point Jellyfin crashed, and doesnt start again when rebooting the RPi.
I ran the status command to see what was up, but I'm afraid I don't understand any of it. Here's what it gives :

Any help appreciated.

Let me start with RPi5 is not a good platform for Jellyfin.
N100 based is a bit more expensive but MUCH more powerfull.
That being said it should start.
Can you post the output of:
sudo journalctl -u jellyfin -n 200
