SOLVED: Docker Migration from one server to another?

[hov]

I'm trying to migrate my jellyfin from one server to another. I assume I can copy over my jellyfin cache and config folders over to the new server and hope it would just work. Am I missing something? I'm going from a debian to a debian machine. Both are intel cpu machines if that's relevant

Below is my docker-compose for new jellyfin docker container:

Code:

version: "3.8"
services:
  jellyfin:
    image: ghcr.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
    container_name: jellyfin
    volumes:
      - /opt/stacks/jellyfin/config:/config
      - /opt/stacks/jellyfin/cache:/cache
      - /mnt/NAS/:/NAS
    ports:
      - 8096:8096
    restart: unless-stopped

Couldn't find anything specific to my case in the migration docs https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...on/migrate

You're correct. The only other folders you need to copy over are your media folders (obviously), especially if you enabled metadata to be saved in them along with your media files too.

The nice thing about containers is that you can rename folders and still have it mount with another name to the container. So as long as you give the config folder mount the same name as your last container had it, you can store it in any way you wish on your new server.

Also, it's not really necessary to transfer over the cache folder as that can always be recreated.

Thanks, yeah that was pretty smooth! Love docker for the convenience
