Migrating from flatpak to standard install - schnuff - 2025-10-30
Hi there,
I'm a linux- noob and installed jellyfin as flatpak to my linux mint cinnamon desktop.
As autostart is not working with the flatpak version (or I just can't get it to work- is there a way?), I'd like to install the regular linux version of jellyfin.
How do I do that and is there a way to keep my settings of jellyfin?
Regards- schnuff

Maybe not the answer you asked for but after several small problems I found the easiest was to uninstall, reinstall, reconfigure my settings, and let the metadata repopulate. Just need to be a bit patient for the metadata.
Google: force jellyfin reinstall
