Hey there!
I am a first time user of Jellyfin, I just installed v10.11.6
Hardware specs:
Raspberry 5
AlmaLinux 10
NVME 256GB
8GB RAM
Software:
Docker CE (docker-ce-29.3.0-1.el10.aarch64)
Jellyfin docker container (jellyfin/jellyfin:latest)
Two docker volumes (config + cache)
SMB remote mounts under /mnt
The problem:
docker compose up -d, brings up the container and I can HTTP to port 8096, I get the welcome screen, create my admin user and my first library. My library is 20,000 photos (and a few 5-6 videos) shared over GbE ethernet from a fast NAS device. So far so good.
Jellyfin starts the "Scan all libraries" procedure and in 20 minutes its at 45%, then takes another 10 minutes to get to 52%... then EACH 1% takes an hour
so to get to 55% it took 3 hours !!!! then it goes even slower, each 1% takes 2 hours or more, eventually it reached 60% after running for 10 hours!!!.
Looking at the docker logs output, I don't see anything special, only a single error about a JPG image that has some invalid header (which I fixed by loading/saving the file with GIMP).
Looking at the Linux processes, I don't see anything special, cpu usage is between 2% and 20% with the jellyfin process being the actively running process, everything else is sleeping.
Is this a known issue? is it something wrong with my (clean) setup? some incompatibility with raspberry 5? maybe the architecture aarch64 is a problem?
Please help.
