Guide: Running Jellyfin in Synology's DSM 7 Using Docker Compose

[Efficient_Good_5784]

- I had some lag on some movies, maybe it is a bad encode or it could be better with hardware acceleration (6GB of memory installed currently) ?

Did you enable HWA by uncommenting the lines in the YAML file? If so, do you have another stick of ram installed on the NAS? Using dual channel ram will speed up the process a bit.

- If yes, how can i properly enable it ? Should have i to rebuild a new container with a modified project file ?

If the lines for HWA are enabled when you run the container, you still would need to go into the dashboard of Jellyfin and enable HWA there if you didn't already.

- If i want to update the server, should i do that from Jellyfin interface or update the image container on the NAS directly when update is available ?

Updating anything involving docker involves you creating a new updated container and deleting the old one. This is why it's important to have persistent data you don't want to lose to live outside the containers and only linking them to the newest container.
Also, Jellyfin doesn't have a built-in method to update itself currently.

Hello,

No i did not uncomment the lines for HWA, so i guess i have to modify the YAML file and then rebuild the current container ? I understood that it will be done that way when i will modify and save the YAML file. Yes i do have a total of 6GB of RAM on the NAS, i added a 4GB stick.
Then, i will enable HWA in the dashboard of Jellyfin.

I was able to do the update of Jellyfin by updating the image of the container, now i can see in the dashboard that the new version is running.
