SQLite Error 6: 'database is locked' on Jellyfin 10.9.3 via Docker - nothingveryobvious - 2024-05-27
I am posting this thread because it is not exactly the same as this one: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-library-scan-keeps-failing--6086
I'm on Jellyfin 10.9.3 running on Docker Desktop 4.30.0 on a Mac Mini 2018 running Sonoma 14.5.
Upon full library scan, scan fails after a few minutes and I get the following error:
SQLite Error 6: 'database is locked'
There are a number of GitHub issues with the same or similar problem (SQLiteError 5 or 6):
- https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11834
- https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11839
- https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11728
- https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11589 (lots of comments on this one)
I even tried a fresh install of Jellyfin 10.9.3 and added one library. Same issue.
I've since had to do a fresh install of 10.8.13. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Which of the suggested setting changes have you tried?
I've seen both gnattu's suggestion to change the parallel library scan setting and also the trickplay thread setting to 1.

@TheDreadPirate
I changed the parallel library scan to 1 and the result was the same. I don't use trickplay, so there was nothing to change.

Use a volume instead of a bind mount for docker desktop if are using bind mount.
