    I was having some problems with Jellyfin recently and decided a reinstallation which was a mistake because I can't get Jellyfin to work at all. I looked up a complete reinstall and found these commands:

    Code:
    sudo apt purge jellyfin*

    sudo rm -rf /var/lib/jellyfin /etc/jellyfin

    curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

    I would get a failed installed with the error message etc/jellyfin cannot be found. So I create a jellyfin folder inside of etc/ and it says successfully installed but I also get the error message Unit jellyfin.service could not be found. twice. When I run sudo systemctl status jellyfin it gives the same error message. I believe when I first installed Jellyfin (long ago before I tried reinstalling) it was with docker. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.
