Use docker jellyfin config folder in native jellyfin in debian - arnob216 - 2023-10-01

Basically I have a jellyfin perfectly running and configured using docker in Debian. Is it possible to keep using the same config file for a jellyfin installed directlybon the debian pc instead of through docker?
If so then how to set the path of the native jelly config to that say to /mnt/hdd/config/jellyfin directory?

I don't think this is written up anywhere, but what all are you trying to save from your configuration? Different files live in different spots depending on the volumes you mounted in docker. It should theoretically be possible to find the critical files from docker (after stopping the container so nothing is being written), back them up, and re-sort them into their future bare metal locations.

You would need to be specific about what you mean by "configuration". The Jellyfin documentation should have a list of where files live on Debian, I can see if I can rustle that up.
