If this a package install directly on Debian, back up these directories and transfer to the new server.
/var/lib/jellyfin
/etc/jellyfin
/var/cache/jellyfin (optional, but I've found it makes the process smoother by restoring it)
Install jellyfin on the new server, stop the service and restore these directories then:
sudo chown -R jellyfin: /var/lib/jellyfin /etc/jellyfin /var/cache/jellyfin
/var/lib/jellyfin
/etc/jellyfin
/var/cache/jellyfin (optional, but I've found it makes the process smoother by restoring it)
