Hi there, new here. I tried to install Jellyfin Server on Ubuntu, but it didn't seem to work.

Here's the info on the install:

Code:

You should see the service as 'active (running)' above. If not, use https://jellyfin.org/contact to find us for troubleshooting.

You can access your new instance now at http://:8096 in your web browser to finish setting up Jellyfin.

Thank you for installing Jellyfin, and happy watching!

/opt/jellyfin/ is completely empty

It appears not to check or validate all components of the install - it is possible there may have been a very old install of Jellyfin Server on this machine many years ago, but i'd expect the .sh install to ensure all components are installed and each dependency is also installed (and working/tested).

Also, I also could not find any reference in the docs on how to uninstall the Jellyfin Server from Ubuntu (so I can do a clean/fresh reinstall), except for Windows uninstall instructions. Does anyone know where the uninstall instructions for Jellyfin Server on Ubuntu are found?

Thanks

Depends on the package manager you want to use? Look at the packages that were installed and try apt to remove them. You'll need sudo privileges.

Code:

apt autoremove jellyfin jellyfin-ffmpeg5 jellyfin-server jellyfin-web --purge

Be aware that this will remove these packages, any orphaned dependencies, all known traces of them on your system. Then give it another shot. You could also try to play with the service before doing this and see if it'll even start up. Again, you need sudo.

Code:

$: systemctl status jellyfin
$: systemctl enable jellyfin
$: systemctl restart jellyfin

Note that each line is a different command. I would probably nuke the entire thing and start over, but it may be worthwhile to save a little bit of time and at least try enabling/restarting the service. Don't go down the rabbit hole though, if those three commands don't produce much of anything, I'd erase the whiteboard and forge ahead with a clean install.
