AuthenticationScheme: CustomAuthentication was challenged. CustomAuthentication ... - RelatableQuery - 2024-10-31
I am watching my docker container logs, and I am seeing the following messages get repeated every few seconds.
How can I find out where this is coming from?
jellyfin | [21:18:45] [INF] [46] Jellyfin.Api.Auth.CustomAuthenticationHandler: AuthenticationScheme: CustomAuthentication was challenged.

Unfortunately you can't. I've seen this before, tried enabling debug logging, but the debug logs didn't say which device was the culprit.
This happens when a device's token was expired and you haven't re-logged in on that device.

how does one fix this?
randomly started getting this and I can no longer get into Jellyfin. I've even blown it up and tried multiple images/versions and it keeps giving me the same error. Do I have to move this container onto a totally different host or something?
Even after nuking the container and trying to start fresh, I get the login screen but it's the regular one and not the one to create the admin user.
*EDIT* so yeah, I created a new stack on a new host and I get the creation wizard. Very odd, any ideas on how I can completely purge Jellyfin from the other server that's throwing that Authentication error?

this is about something hitting my instance. Not sure what, since every connection was either deleted or is offline. Once I changed the external port the errors stopped

On the original host you can also re-enable the setup wizard. Stop Jellyfin then open the following file.
Windows: C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\config\system.xml
Linux: /etc/jellyfin/system.xml
Docker: /config/config/system.xml (within where you mounted the /config volume)
Set IsStartupWizardComplete to false. Start Jellyfin, go through the setup wizard. You only need to set your credentials, skip the rest.

thanks. that's good to know if this happens again.
after switching my port and creating the admin account, I was able to switch the port back. No idea what glitched out my instance, but I get to redo all my settings now. Joy
