I currently run my own Jellyfin media server on a rather dated AMD FX9590 chip with 32gb of Ram and GTX1060 and a Tiny 11 windows build OS.
This works perfectly well but I am aware that the chip is very outdated and the graphics card is limited in its Transcoding format support.
I will be building a newer system based on the Intel Xeon architecture as I'm told that Intel is better suited for server operations and I have new hardware ready to use, I will be using a RTX3050 graphics card which appears to be the minimum card from Nvidia that supports all NVENC formats.
My question is whether I can back-up my Jellyfin configuration so that I do not need to spend time scanning and finding the files again, building collections or other info.
I have my library built exactly how I want it with the users, collections, libraries etc and I would like minimum downtime between the actual migration. Will Jellyfin create errors because it is expecting the old hardware or will it recognise the new hardware and simply update the values?
All of my actual media data is on secondary hard drives (one SATA one external USB 3) and media is downloaded directly to these drives, I plan to swap these drives over to the new server once it is up and running.
I'm aware I will likely need to reconfigure network settings/DDNS for the new IP.
Is this possible?
Thank you
