jellyfin.service Fails to Start - X0X0X0 - 2024-12-24
On Debian 12 machine.
Jellyfin was working all find and dandy until I decided to "Shutdown" the server via the web-panel.
I couldn't start it manually. At the moment, Jellyfin server will not launch.
I did try to uninstall Jellyfin*, yet, when installed via repository, says already installed.
Managed to install Jellyfin server via .deb package finally.
Code:
user@debian:~$ sudo systemctl start jellyfin.service
Job for jellyfin.service failed because of unavailable resources or another system error.
See "systemctl status jellyfin.service" and "journalctl -xeu jellyfin.service" for details.
user@debian:~$ sudo systemctl status jellyfin.service

By Jove! This is magic..!
I tried out these steps from this Thread: SOLVED: Jellyfin attempting to access /jellyfin after server reboot
Code:
sudo mkdir /jellyBackup
cd /jellyBackup
sudo rsync -a -p --progress /var/lib/jellyfin libJellyfin/
sudo rsync -a -p --progress /etc/jellyfin etcJellyfin/
sudo rsync -a -p --progress /var/cache/jellyfin cacheJellyfin/
sudo apt purge jellyfin*
curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash
sudo systemctl stop jellyfin
sudo rsync -a -p --progress libJellyfin/jellyfin /var/lib/ --delete
sudo rsync -a -p --progress etcJellyfin/jellyfin /etc/ --delete
sudo rsync -a -p --progress cacheJellyfin/jellyfin /var/cache/ --delete
sudo chown -R jellyfin: /etc/jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin /var/cache/jellyfin
sudo systemctl start jellyfinI thank you @TheDreadPirate
