Bootloop container synology - mike3184 - 2025-07-19
Hello,
I have installed my Jellyfin server on my Synology NAS DS220+ using this documentation: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/advanced/synology 2 days ago, and today when i tried to restart the docker container using container manager app on my NAS, it goes on bootloop and constantly reboots itself. What was strange is that i was still able, sometimes, to access to jellyfin.
So i force closed the container with a kill and restart but i was the same, then i rebooted the NAS itself and it seems ok.
The only thing i have done before was installing the extension Fanart.tv, but i do not believe this is really the root cause.
While i was searching on the forum, i saw another tutorial to install Jellyfin on Synology using docker compose: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-guide-running-jellyfin-in-synology-s-dsm-7-using-docker-compose and it looks different comparing to the official documentation.
I have also seen that maybe i missed to properly configure the cache and config folders, do you believe it could be the cause of the boot loops?
Please, do not tell me that i have to install it from scratch because i spent several hours to properly configure all medias...
PS: I cannot understand where are currently written the datas and the config because i did not configured any folder on my NAS apparently. A temporary folder i guess, but where exactly?
PS2: I attached the log and the config of the container. I can see an error on network.xml in the logs, idk why, i can just say that i configured the network's container as host instead of bridge, otherwise TMDB was not able to reach metadatas.
