    I recently installed Jellyfin (10.10.2.0) on an Ubuntu Server 24.04.1 VM through ProxMox. Everything worked correctly until the server rebooted and the service failed to start. However, if I go to connect to the web console I can connect and get full functionality if I just remove the server and re-add it. 
    When I use journalctl on jellyfin I get the following:

    Code:
    jellyfin.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
    ░░ Subject: Unit process exited
    ░░ Defined-By: systemd
    ░░ Support: http://www.ubuntu.com/support

    ░░

    ░░ The job identifier is 1528 and the job result is failed.

    Here's the output of systemctl status jellyfin:

    Code:
    sudo systemctl status jellyfin

    Nov 17 12:44:53 nas systemd[1]: Failed to start jellyfin.service - Jellyfin Media Server.

    The log files show nothing from November 17th, they were last updated 3 days earlier when I purged and reinstalled. I can't start the service but if I do sudo /usr/bin/jellyfin start --ffmpeg=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg it starts fine, even though the service still says that it's not running. If the service isn't required can I just have this command run on after boot without any issues? Thanks!
