Transferring jellyfin data from linux to linux - jassalmithu - 2023-11-17
I have a debian server and I want to transfer it to new debian server, paths are different. How should I go about this?

What paths will be different?
If you will be installing jellyfin the same way (I'm assuming bare metal), you need to follow this process.
Old server:
- stop jellyfin
- backup /etc/jellyfin (configs) and /var/lib/jellyfin (database and other data)
New server:
- run "curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash"
- once the script finishes, stop jellyfin
- over write /etc/jellyfin and /var/lib/jellyfin with your backup from your old server

*if paths means media paths, it would be Highly recommended to find a way to make the paths the same otherwise Jellyfin will remove everything it cannot find and make the backup restoration useless and this will happen as soon as Jellyfin starts if you have enabled monitoring
either with symlinks or add mounts to your fstab
