Autostarting

[rayfield]

how have you created 2 jellyfin servers if not in 2 separate containers??

Wasn't easy! I believe at some point during the dull, grinding frenzy of setting everything up I thought I was renaming the server to something recognizable instead of a bunch of letters and numbers. Didn't mind redoing it, in fact after having used JF for a few years I realized the workflow needed revising, which is why I didn't just reinstall the backup I'd made.

in portainer, open the docker for the jellyfin you want to autostart
click duplicate/edit
scoll down to advanced container settings
click restart policy
click unless stopped

then click "Deploy Container" to save changes

Thanks much, that sorted it.
