Autostart of Jellyfin/Jellyfin container

[Eisbergsalat]

"Tomorrow" I said

Hey there, I am back.

I got in some time management conflicts due to uni exams.
AND then I got a new router and suddenly I had that DS-lite infection ....... 

BUT that got sorted out and now I am back to report my status in this problem:

It works!



What did I do?

1. Create an JellyfinStartup.sh:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# Logger aktivieren:
exec > >(logger -t JellyfinStartup) 2>&1

# URL des Servers
SERVER_URL="http://[IP:Port or URL]/" ###########EDIT###########


# Funktion zum Überprüfen der Erreichbarkeit des Servers
check_server() {
    status_code=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" $SERVER_URL)
    if [ "$status_code" -eq 200 ] || [ "$status_code" -eq 302 ]; then
        return 0
    else
        return 1
    fi
}

# Funktion zum Überprüfen, ob eine Datei existiert
file_exists() {
    [ -f "$1" ]
}


# Hauptlogik
if check_server; then
    echo "Server ist erreichbar."
    exit 0
else
    echo "Server ist nicht erreichbar. Neustart von docker-compose.yaml..."
    docker compose -f /path_to_yaml_file/docker-compose.yml down ###########EDIT###########
    sleep 5

if ! file_exists "/mnt/[any consistent file inside a mounted drive, that is used by the Jellyfin-container. Be aware, that the folder itself wont work, because the folder of the mounted drive exists, even if it is unmounted!]"; then ###########EDIT###########
        umount /mnt/Medien
        sleep 4
        mount -a
        sleep 1
    fi
    sleep 15
    docker compose -f /path_to_yaml_file/docker-compose.yml up -d ###########EDIT###########
    sleep 60

    if check_server; then
        echo "Server ist erreichbar."
        exit 0
    else
        systemctl daemon-reload
        systemctl restart remote-fs.target
        sleep 60  # 1 Minute warten
        docker compose -f /path_to_yaml_file/docker-compose.yml up -d ###########EDIT###########
        sleep 60
        if check_server; then
            echo "Server ist erreichbar."
            exit 0
        else
            echo "Server ist noch nicht erreichbar. Neustart des Systems..."
            sleep 5
            reboot
            sleep 55
            exit 1
        fi
    fi
fi

2. Create an crontab -e entry (as root)

Code:

@reboot sleep 300 && /path_to_script/JellyfinStartup.sh

Info:
I created this script with the help of copilot. (At least a thousand times I had to express my wishes)

And this script was created in order to reboot Jellyfin, because the linked mounted drive (in my case SMB) is not available during startup.

If you need this script, dont forget to edit those lines, where I added " ###########EDIT########### " at the end.
