Database Update to 10.11.2 fails

[nerdnils]

Hi there,

I migrated my raspberry pi 4 from buster to trixie and now i want to install jellyfin again/restore my backup into the new installation.
The jellyfin server seems to try to update my database but fails because there is a table missing in the database. How to fix the error/how
to update the database correctly?

Here is the relevant log, please ask if you need any more information!

What version of Jellyfin were you updating from?

[nerdnils]

I don't know for sure. Any way to find out using the backup? I have /etc/jellyfin including all contents and the database.

@kandykarter is Jellyfin Web in the database the verion of the server or the browser? If it is the server it looks like it is 10.10.8

[kandykarter]

I'm not sure how to find the version from your backup, but I'm pretty sure there was no 10.10.8, I think the 10.10 line topped out at 10.10.7.

The reason I ask is the 10.11 branch can *only* be updated to by 10.10.7, so if you were using something older, that could be the source of your trouble.

Sadly, no. Just downgraded to 10.10.7 using https://repo.jellyfin.org/?path=/server/...able/arm64 and still getting the same error:

I'm by no means an expert, but it's my best guess, yes. The recommended path is to upgrade to 10.10.7, and THEN to the 10.11 branch. If you're using docker, you can just edit the compose. Not sure how you'd do it on your pi.

Sorry, just did. No change.
