Updating from 10.8.0 - Ubuntu

[TheDreadPirate]

The second code block is the same as the first.

I doubt you marked jellyfin as "do not update" anyway, so let's move forward with backing up your data and purging Jellyfin.

Copy the two Jellyfin data and config directories to some place else.

Code:

sudo systemctl stop jellyfin
mkdir -p /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-data /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-config  #Replace with an actual path but keep jellyfin-config and jellyfin-data
mv /var/lib/jellyfin/* /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-data/*
mv /etc/jellyfin/* /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-config/*

Use apt to purge Jellyfin.

Code:

sudo apt purge jellyfin*

Now we are going to manually delete any Jellyfin install folders and the repo configs.

Code:

sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/jellyfin /usr/share/jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.sources
sudo apt update

Install from our repo via the auto-install script

Code:

curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

It will automatically start the service so we are going to bring it down before we restore your config.

Code:

sudo systemctl stop jellyfin

Now let's restore the data and configs.

Code:

cp -pR /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-data/* /var/lib/jellyfin/
cp -pR /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-config/* /etc/jellyfin/
sudo chown -R jellyfin: /var/lib/jellyfin /etc/jellyfin

Now start Jellyfin.

Code:

sudo systemctl start jellyfin
