server

[0000000000]

Use this command to point it in the right direction

Code:

ln -s /usr/share/jellyfin/web/ /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web

yeah that worked, thanks, but now it's throwing other errors.

[12:17:47] [ERR] [1] Main: Kestrel failed to start! This is most likely due to an invalid address or port bind - correct your bind configuration in network.xml and try again
[12:17:47] [FTL] [1] Main: Error while starting server
System.IO.IOException: Failed to bind to address http://0.0.0.0:8096: address already in use.

very fun. can't find the network.xml

So I installed the server and web .debs (jellyfin-server_10.9.7+deb12_amd64.deb and jellyfin-web_10.9.7+deb12_all.deb) and jellyfin service output is The server is expected to host the web client, but the provided content directory is either invalid or empty: /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web.

And the directory indeed does not exist. I don't know how to proceed.

You say "Jellyfin service" but how did you try to start jellyfin?  Did you simply type "jellyfin" or did you run "sudo systemctl start jellyfin"?

Also, why install the .debs directly instead of through our repo?  We have a script that automates the entire Jellyfin repo setup process and installs the jellyfin packages.

started both ways. it starts and stops fine.

because i don't want third party repos on the system.

why offer a clearly broken install method at all? why not just support flatpak as it works on literally all linux systems and is a one click install? (the "community maintained" flatpak hasn't been updated in two months and hasn't been compatible with the flatpak player in the same amount of time.
