Jellyfin become unresponsive, and will not start after reboot - jsnotlout1 - 2024-10-04

I was alerted by my family that the jellyfin server was not allowing anyone to log in. So after trying to solve the problem, I chose to reboot the server, but now it will not start at all. I have a theory, that all of this is caused directly by a failed release upgrade that didn't fully complete. The jellyfin server has not been updating itself via apt-get properly

Based on the frequency of issues like this, I am assuming that my server itself is messed up, That being the case, is there any way to backup the jellyfin config files so I can restore most of to a fresh server and jellyfin instance?

Share the output of this command via pastebin.

Code:
sudo journalctl -u jellyfin -n 200 --no-pager

Also, what distro are you using?

RE: Jellyfin become unresponsive, and will not start after reboot - TheDreadPirate - 2024-10-04

Code:
cd /etc/jellyfin
sudo mkdir backup
sudo mv *.xml backup
sudo apt upgrade jellyfin

If it doesn't automatically start, sudo systemctl restart jellyfin. If it fails to start again, repeat the last post and share the output of journalctl.

There might be something wrong with my server, As far as I can tell it should have enough space. I can't expand /var while the system is booted, but it's complaining about low space. The drive still has plenty of space, and it ran all the apt updates just fine last night. So I have no idea why its full now.

Perhaps the low space on /var is whats keeping it from starting at all?

You're out of space. Your database may or may not be borked.

Noted, I think it's time I accept the reality that this server needs a fresh install. I can't keep patching it up
