Jellyfin via Docker on Synology: Version Updates? - Spawnie - 2024-09-20

Hi,

I am running Jellyfin with Docker on my Synology NAS.
I want to know how I would be notified if a new version is released?
And how is the update process, is it working automatically?
Or do I need to install a new container in docker and remove the old one?

Thank you

Stop Jellyfin in the container. Go to the image and there will a little update link - click than and it will download the latest version. Restart the Jellyfin container. As for finding out about new versions just look on this site at Project Announcements - https://forum.jellyfin.org/f-project-announcements

Understand that you need to have your config folder be external to the container because an update in this sense is just destroying the old container, and making a new one. So if the config folder is inside the old container, you'll lose all your configuration data.

If you want help, you can check out my guide on how to do so with DSM 7: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-guide-running-jellyfin-in-synology-s-dsm-7-using-docker-compose

How does this icon look?

Synology container manager isn’t very good at picking up on the availability of new packages in a timely manner. You’re better off installing something like Diun to flag available updates, and then updating containers via the command line.

If you really want to live dangerously then you can use Watchtower to do everything automatically.
