SOLVED: Migrate Jellyfish from bare metal linux to an lXC container

[B B]

That forum post is for a bare metal linux to bare metal linux migration.  Since this is a completely different install type, I'm not sure how much that post will apply here.

How did you install Jellyfin in proxmox?  Using the tteck install script?  I'm going to assume yes for now.

https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox

I've never used Proxmox or LXCs, but based on tteck's Jellyfin install script it is just installing Jellyfin in the same manor as it would a bare metal debuntu system.  But in a LXC.  Simply copying /etc/jellyfin and /var/lib/jellyfin and putting them in the same path on the HOST system is not going to work.  You would need to put them wherever Proxmox is putting the Jellyfin LXC's storage.

Again, I have no idea where that is or even if it would work at all.

Yes, I installed it using the Debuntu script, after also installing sudo and curl, which the Debian LXC container apparently does not come with. The files that I am overwriting are on the LXC container and not the host and yes, the folders are created during the installation(I just checked on a new container), so I was mistaken. As far as I could tell people are saying that Jellyfin runs without any issues on an LXC Container as long as you pass through the GPU, but none of them seem to have tried to transfer a previous installation, which means I have nowhere to read about this specific scenario.
