Transfert Windows data to TrueNas Scale - Nast - 2023-10-30

Hello,

I currently have a machine running Windows 10 Pro, and I'm running a Jellyfin server on it with my data stored on an external hard drive. I'm considering switching to TrueNAS Scale, but I would like to transfer my Jellyfin data to this new TrueNAS Scale installation. Is this possible?

Thank you.

this is unlikely to work and in the event it did you would spend more effort transferring than rebuilding

windows paths are stored in jellyfin, C:\path\to\database, C:\path\to\media

truenas being linux the paths are going to be /path/to/database, /path/to/media

if you disable live scanning, change all the paths in the new setup it is still going to end up looking for something in a path that doesn't make sense to it

Yes, I know! That's why I was asking if there was something for that...
Oh well, I'll commit sacrilege: install a Windows Server.
