Migration: Linux to Docker

[designingbeing]

Is there a guide to migrating Linux to Docker on a different machine?

I'm getting an error: System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (400, 26).

What I've done so far is:

• Backup /etc/jellyfin using cp -a
  
• Backup /var/lib/jellyfin using cp -a
  
• Copy the backups to the new machine in their own subfolders
  
• Modify docker-compose.yaml (see below for file contents)
  
• Run docker compose up 
  

---

docker-compose.yaml

Code:

services:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin
    container_name: jellyfin
    user: 1000:1000
    network_mode: 'host'
    environment:
      - JELLYFIN_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/jellyfin
      - JELLYFIN_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/jellyfin
      - JELLYFIN_LOG_DIR=/var/log/jellyfin
    volumes:
      - /home/myusername/config/jellyfin/data:/var/lib/jellyfin
      - /home/myusername/config/jellyfin/config:/etc/jellyfin
      - /mystoragepath/logs/jellyfin:/var/log/jellyfin
      - /mystoragepath/cache/jellyfin:/cache
      - /mystoragepath/jellyfin/movies:/mnt/sdb2/common/jellyfin/movies
      - /mystoragepath/jellyfin/shows:/mnt/sdb2/common/jellyfin/shows
      - /mystoragepath/jellyfin/music:/mnt/sdb2/common/jellyfin/music
    restart: 'unless-stopped'
    # Optional - alternative address used for autodiscovery
    #environment:
    #  - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=http://example.com
    # Optional - may be necessary for docker healthcheck to pass if running in host network mode
    extra_hosts:
      - 'host.docker.internal:host-gateway'
