Need to Rebuild DB - Serafyn - 2025-12-07

Hi all,

I'm currently running Jellyfin on Unraid through the official container. "jellyfin/jellyfin:latest"
I was doing some work on my server and trying to move some folders around.
I was going to point '/data' toward a share to save space on my cache and accidentally delete the /data/ folder.
'jellyfin.db' is gone and the app won't launch. The container seems to crash as I start it.

Is there anyway for me to get Jellyfin to rebuild this DB?
It seems to have created a new '/data' folder and new 'jellyfin.db' file, but that's it.
The container won't stay open for me to even open the console.
