Jellyfin container size

[Hectik]

Do you have trickplays and chapters enabled for any of your libraries?

After v10.9, trickplays are generated in Jellyfin's config folder, which most likely is in the Docker container (unless you pulled it out and stored it somewhere on the NAS).

He's right! It was an anoying change they did with trickplay as the folder just became too big to handle and sort of messed up my backup solution. My metadata folder is at 100GB at the momment.

You can double check by running the following command in whatever directory your jellyfin config folder is.

Code:

du -sh ./config/data/metadata/

One workaround you could do is to copy the metadata to your media drives and then map the folder as a volume in your docker-compose.yml like below:

Code:

volume:
  - /<different directory>/metadata:/config/data/metdata
