Jellyfin setup and running - but am I missing something?

[Efficient_Good_5784]

I want to re-order my Libraries on my Admin dashboard, and documentation points towards this being possible in config files, but the file path instructions don't seem to align with the folders created by the docker container. How do I get to config to possibly adjust this order?

I wish these were just ordered alphabetically. I've noticed their order changes at random too.

In my opinion, I wouldn't bother with this. The order is not really important for the usage of the server anyway. And I don't think you can even manually order it by messing with the config files.

I have two separate physical servers. One runs my main Jellyfin server. The other runs a backup Jellyfin server. Both run Jellyfin in a container. The backup server recieves an exact copy of my main Jellyfin config files each day. However, despite both servers having the exact same config files to run off of, both my main and backup Jellyfin servers have different orders to the libraries in the admin dashboard.

Also, if you didn't link your config folder to be accessible outside of the Docker container, you'll need to use the system shell to enter the container where you'll manipulate the files. And if so, if you delete your container, you'll also lose all your server config data. It's best to make a host mount to have your config folder persist through multiple containers. Especially when you want to update to a new Jellyfin version.
