Autostarting - rayfield - 2023-11-26
Installation on the new NUC went smoothly as could be expected, basically all is working real well - only a couple issues with Portainer and Docker: first, I couldn't find a way to not have to log in to Portainer at bootup, so running headless means I have to have another computer switched on to get it running. When I do log in, invariably while Portainer itself is chugging along, Jellyfin has exited, meaning I have to click on it and restart it.
Also, somewhere along the line I started over again with Jellyfin configuration, so as a result I have two server instances I have to choose from when I log in. How do I delete the other one? Definitely would have to get rid of that if I'm ever going to be able to start the server without turning another device on.

Thanks sorry but I wasn't even aware of an option in Portainer to add to Docker scripts, still not sure how to add that parameter to Portainer but at least that's a start. I may possibly be a little burnt out from having spent most of yesterday googling every detail of setting up a headless server and having it do everything I need it to do.
I'm not trying to delete a container I'm trying to delete one of the two Jellyfin servers I created.
RE: Autostarting - tmsrxzar - 2023-11-26
how have you created 2 jellyfin servers if not in 2 separate containers??
in portainer, open the docker for the jellyfin you want to autostart
click duplicate/edit
scoll down to advanced container settings
click restart policy
click unless stopped
then click "Deploy Container" to save changes

I believe at some point during the dull, grinding frenzy of setting everything up I thought I was renaming the server to something recognizable instead of a bunch of letters and numbers. Didn't mind redoing it, in fact after having used JF for a few years I realized the workflow needed revising, which is why I didn't just reinstall the backup I'd made.

Thanks much, that sorted it.
RE: Autostarting - rayfield - 2023-11-27
Just in case someone else manages to do this: on startup, if/when you are presented with two (or more?) servers, click on each one you don't want and you will be offered the choice to either start or delete it.
