How do I update on Linux?

The executable is in /usr/bin.  But you will never run Jellyfin directly.  You will ALWAYS manage it via systemctl on the command line.

Code:

sudo systemctl status jellyfin
sudo systemctl stop jellyfin
sudo systemctl start jellyfin
sudo systemctl restart jellyfin

This is how you manage/run Jellyfin.

All of the Jellyfin configurations are in /etc/jellyfin.  And all of your permanent Jellyfin data, including the database, is in /var/lib/jellyfin.  Back up both of those directories before every upgrade.  Or more frequently if you want.  I backup Jellyfin daily.

Thanks a ton for this info.! Is JF set to always start on boot by default? And ok, so if I backup the perm data/database, I won't have to re-identify shows/movies that don't properly get picked up and whatnot?
