Constantly have to login

[yawhide]

Howdy,

I am trying to setup jellyfin on docker on a windows 11 machine using the wsl2 integration. I can access jellyfin web through a local IP (eg 192.168.1.15:8096).
I have two issues:
1. when i restart my computer, my existing user/pass doesnt work. So I have redo the setup wizard
2. after doing 1., I have to login everytime I refresh my page (like doing cmd+r on my mac laptop)


My docker compose:


jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
    container_name: jellyfin
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - UMASK=002
      - TZ=America/Toronto
    volumes:
      - /mnt/f/config/jellyfin-configconfig
      - /mnt/f/data/mediadata/media
    ports:
      - "8096:8096"
    restart: unless-stopped


any idea what is going on?

thanks!

Not an expert on docker, but it appears that the data directory (/etc/jellyfin equivalent) is not surviving the initial setup or even being saved at all.

While it is running, on the Window side can you check that files are, in fact, writing to the F:\config\jellyfin-config? What happens when you stop the container?

The files are all there still. I can see differences in modified date.
for example:
f:\config\jellyfin-config\log has a modified date of today (dec 2) because, i assume, a new log file gets created per day. and i can read the logs from the windows side.
f:\config\jellyfin-config\config has a modified date of yesterday (dec 1) because, i assume, no configurations changed when I just started the docker image.

i was looking at the log mentioned above from today (dec 2) and i am seeing errors:
cannot find part of the path /data/media/movies
cannot find part of the path /data/media/tv

this makes no sense because yesterday (dec 1) i was able to _watch_ a movie from that very directory!
so it seems there is some kind of issue where docker is not able to read from the windows filesystem properly?

(1 minute later)
ok i restared the jellyfin container and now i see no errors when watching directory /data/media/movies. 
unfortunately, the creds i setup yesterday are invalid now...

is there maybe a race condition? docker starts and runs the jellyfin container before windows 'starts' the wsl2 os?

(10 mins later)
I set the flag in system.xml to re-show the setup wizard. while i was going through the wizard, it already had my library settings setup (tv/shows). so it seems i found a ?bug?. for whatever reason, i somehow break my user whenever i turn on my computer.

any ideas how to fix this?

Is there any particular reason you are using WSL+docker instead of running on Windows directly?

docker is better? and i can easily switch my setup to ubuntu when the time comes.

for windows, i was getting permission issues where I can to kill the sonarr/radarr processes and run them as admin to make move files properly
