Help upgrading Jellyfin to latest - troothdotcom - 2024-11-22
I am running Jellyfin on the latest version of Ubuntu server through docker compose. I am currently on Jellyfin version 10.9.1.1 and I read through the release notes but I have to be honest I'm not well versed enough to understand what can and can't break my Jellyfin so I would like some advice. I just recently had to reinstall Immich and Uptime Kuma because I broke them instead of just updating them. My family uses Jellyfin all the time so I would hate to break it and have to start fresh. Can I just do a docker pull and update? What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

Before every Jellyfin upgrade, in minor point releases, you should backup /config. Always, always backup.
Wherever you mounted /config, back it up. Then stop the jellyfin container, then pull, then start Jellyfin with the newer version.

Just made a tar back up. I guess I was asking are there any breaking changes or am I safe to just pull and update

10.9->10.10 is a much much smaller change than 10.8->10.9. I am not aware of any game breaking changes.
