How to migrate from docker to baremetal install? - hov - 2025-11-09

Hi, I'm looking to do a migration from my jellyfin via docker to jellyfin via baremetal installation. What is my best path forward to do this?

I wanted to try the Backups option that I see in the admin dashboard of jellyfin, but I currently don't see a place to restore this backup on the web UI. Am I supposed to drop this backup file into my new jellyfin config install location for baremetal?

Alternatively, I can zip up my docker config of jellyfin and bring that over to baremetal install... The locations don't seem to line up perfectly though

Thanks
