    Hi, I'm about to move some things around, and I primarily need advice on which order to do things in, and any potential "gotchas". I'd like to avoid rescraping things, since I have a lot of weird old movies, and I've done a lot manually.

    The things I want to do are:
    Migrate from Windows to LXC on proxmox.
    Move library media files to my new UNAS-pro, which I'm picking up today. My old Synology died, and I have the files on a couple of external HDD's, from which Jellyfin is accessing them now. I don't think I will be able to attach the disks directly to either the UNAS or the UDM-SE, so I'll probably have to transfer everything over 1 Gbps ethernet, which kinda sucks. I guess I could attach it to my proxmox server, and get 2.5 Gbps at least. Either way, it's gonna take a couple of days, any ideas?
    Upgrade Jellyfin to 10.11. This is what I'm mostly unsure about, should I install 10.10 in an LXC first, then migrate the library, and upgrade to 10.11 after? Or won't it matter?
    Also, I want to set up the container to be immutable, so I'd like to point any configs and storage to the NAS. Any advice there?
    And if it's not too much hassle, I'll probably look into switching to Postgres, running in another LXC.

    I found the "Jellyfin Migrator", and while I haven't read the instructions properly yet, I'm thinking that it might be problematic with the new database update.

    I will of course backup the jellyfin database first, and if all else fails, I can query it directly and get the metadata from there later, but I'm hoping to avoid too much headache.

    Oh, it's just movie metadata I'm concerned about, no tv shows or music. Movie posters are in the movie folders, so that should work automatically, I guess.

    Any advice is welcome.
