Completely reinstalling jellyfin

[bythelake]

This was helpful and pointed me in the right direction. I had to take additional steps for my uninstall, and the order mattered. When running the purge, first, it erred when trying to take out the service. After I ran your rm -rf step, it still erred on the service. I had to remove the service and went ahead and locate(d) everywhere jellyfin was. After rm everything below, the purge worked and the server installed, wonderfully.
Kubuntu 24.04

Code:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/jellyfin /var/log/jellyfin /var/cache/jellyfin /etc/jellyfin /usr/share/jellyfin /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/jellyfin.service /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d /etc/default/jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ /usr/lib/systemd/system/jellyfin.service
sudo apt purge jellyfin*
curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

Thanks for sharing.  I performed the steps above, yet when the new instance of Jellyfin was installed with the curl statement, it still seemed to remember details from my original installation.  Losing my password has been a friggin' nightmare, as none of the "reset" steps have worked.  I will probably have to delete the VM and start all over, which kills me, as I have years of work into this.
