Jellyfin docker failing to start - nadroj71 - 2023-10-26

I am running unRaid 6.12.3 and running the latest version of Binhex-Jellyfin in a docker container and had a hard shutdown the other day. The docker image was hanging when stopping the array and I had to forcibly unmount /dev/loop2 using " umount -l /dev/loop2 " and I had figured there would be consequences. Now, jellyfin won't start.

Please let me know if you need more information

Since you're using Docker, is /media/appdata a mapped volume? The error causing this fail state is pretty easy to spot. Jellyfin tries to create that folder and it already exists. And may not have the correct permissions to be read or overwritten. If it's mapped, what lives there? Can it be backed up and removed?

Oh my God. I even went in to look at the appdata mapping and I glossed right over it. I don't know how the /media folder got changed, but it did.

Thanks for pointing it out 😄
