    Sorry, not sure about QNAP, but I'll share similar experience on Synology Docker setup.

    I have docker(Synology) and have learned from my own mistake when upgrading Jellyfin.
    I did the "reset" update container i think, and it reset and did a clean install.

    Problem was i left two directories in the default docker directory (config & cache) those were deleted with clean new ones.
    So i lost a bunch of my data for viewing activity, and all of the pictures for actors.
    Lost my collections i had curated.
    (Annoying as some i spent a lot of time manually curating certain actors.)

    However, my movies/shows/music were all fine. Artwork was all ok. NFO files were all ok.
    This is because i followed correct procedure for creating separate directories.


    Step of creating separate folders for cache/config is mentioned in below documentation, and 3rd party blog.

    General Docker: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/instal.../container
    Synology Specific: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/synology
    3rd Party Blog(Synology): https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install...ology-nas/

    Please double check your homework & research.
    Above is only my personal experience.
    HARDWARE/SOFTWARE SPECS
    NAS: Synology DS720+
    OS: DSM 7.2-64570 Update 3
    CPU: Intel Celeron J4125 Geminilake

    Container Manager(Docker):20.10.23-1437
