SOLVED: Jellyfin don't works anymore

[Nachtatem]

After restarting Jellyfin don't works anymore. Every few secconds the container says restarting. Protokol is added.

[TheDreadPirate]

Did you run out of disk space recently? Do you have any plugins that create their own database?

[Nachtatem]

I have more than enough disk space left and have only plugins from known databases. None that created their own.

[TheDreadPirate]

I'm talking about database FILES that a plugin creates. For example, the Playback Reporting plugin and newsletter plugin both create their own database files.

Code:

chris@rat-trap:/docker/containers/jellyfin-prod-data/config/data$ ll *.db*
-rwxr--r-- 1 jellyfin chris     12709888 Apr 15 11:05 jellyfin.db*

Your log doesn't fully print all the plugin log info, so I can't be sure what you've shared includes all your plugins.

I've seen situations where either the Playback Reporting or Kodi Sync Queue plugin databases were corrupt, but the Jellyfin databases were fine. But the plugin DB being corrupt would prevent the server as a whole from starting. Manually removing the offending plugin(s) would resolve the server startup problem, assuming that it was the plugin database that is corrupt.

[Nachtatem]

I am not sure if I have these plugins installed. When then I don`t use them. How can I check it and remove them without access?

[TheDreadPirate]

Go to where you mounted /config on your host. In that folder there should be a plugins folder. List out the contents of that folder.

Code:

[Nachtatem]

This are all my plugins.
   

[TheDreadPirate]

None of those other plugins create their own database file. So it is likely that your jellyfin or library database is corrupt.

You likely need to start fresh or restore from a backup.

[Nachtatem]

How can I restore from a back up?

[TheDreadPirate]

First, do you have a backup of /config? If you do, make another copy of your existing /config folder and simply copy and paste the backup to where you've located /config.
