Jellyfin constantly restarts when run as a service, works when run from a terminal - benhudson - 2024-03-05
I have been having some trouble setting up Jellyfin on a fresh Arch install.
I installed version 10.8.13.0 using pacman (jellyfin-web, jellyfin-server, and jellyfin-ffmeg), and enabled and started jellyfin.service with systemctl. There were no unusual errors at any point.
When I try to connect with the Android client I get the error "Tried 2 candidates for input, without success. Unable to reach server"
When I try to connect in the browser to [IP]:8086, I get the error "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"
However, if I run 'jellyfin' from the terminal on the server, it starts correctly and everything seems to work fine:

Because the service seems to be the problem, I checked
Code:
sudo systemctl status jellyfin.serviceThis gives a slightly different result each time it's run, but this is typical:

This leads me to believe that the service is stopping and restarting constantly; but for some reason when run in the terminal it runs stably and works as expected.
I recently tried it again and the first time I ran...

Some things that I don't think are relevant but mentioning just in case:
- I'm using a Tailscale VPN to allow my other devices to access the server from different networks without having to open ports (but I've also tried a setup without Tailscale, and with firewall off / ports forwarded, and it was much the same)
- The server is headless and I'm installing / testing everything via ssh; I have also tried installing and running with a screen and keyboard physically on the server with no difference. The server is a Thinkcentre M710q micro PC connected to the modem with an ethernet cable.
- I also tried uninstalling and installing the AUR version (jellyfin-server-git etc) and had the same result

Can you check if
/var/lib/jellyfin exists and if the user jellyfin has read/write access to it?It seems like Jellyfin failed to create its database

How is your disk partitioned? Just one big / partition? Or does /var have its own partition? How big is it? Did it fill up?
RE: Jellyfin constantly restarts when run as a service, works when run from a terminal - benhudson - 2024-03-07
It's one 469 GB root partition (plus 1MB BIOS boot partition and 8GB swap). There's less than 20GB on there at the moment, of which about 9G is in /var
RE: Jellyfin constantly restarts when run as a service, works when run from a terminal - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-07
Can you try renaming /var/lib/jellyfin/data/jellyfin.db and library.db? So that it recreates them.
RE: Jellyfin constantly restarts when run as a service, works when run from a terminal - benhudson - 2024-03-07
Thanks for the suggestion - this seems to have fixed it. The service now starts on boot and runs stably, and it isn't necessary to start the process in the terminal.
There was one final odd thing - when I first went to the server address in a browser on my laptop (after doing the above), the server was displayed but when I clicked I got the new error "We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again." Deleting the server and trying to re-add it didn't work either.
But after that I tried on the Android app which took me directly to the setup wizard, and once I had successfully gone through that I was able to log on in a new tab in the browser as well.
Thanks both for your help.
RE: Jellyfin constantly restarts when run as a service, works when run from a terminal - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-08
That was almost certainly caused by browser caching.
