Plugins Dissappearing Docker Instance

[DVA411]

I'm running Jellyfin in Docker on Ubuntu 22.04.   Since I spun up my most recent image a week ago, my plugins have disappeared 3 times.   I am able to reinstall them, and then reboot.  Once I reboot, my plugin configuration is still there (fortunately I don't need to reconfigure).

This is my second stint running Jellyfin on docker.   I had the same issue on a different PC on Debian/Docker..   

I ran native for a few months (Ubuntu and no docker), and never had this issue.

It's fairly bothersome, because one of my plugins is LDAP, and without it some of my family members can't log in.

You’ve almost certainly got your config and cache directories pointed at the same place, and the cache cleanup is deleting the plug-in files.

Post your compose file or run command. I have been running in Docker for several years and have had zero issues with disappearing plugins, either with the LSIO image or the official Jellyfin container.

You are correct sir.... That I do...   Thank you!!    See folder structure below.  I have both cache and config set to /opt/docker/Jellyfin.    However, I guess I don't understand why cache cleanup would clear the plugins folder, but not the data folder where the database is located.   Also, how is it retaining the plug-in configuration?    I guess I'll repoint my cache to /opt/docker/Jellyfin/cache and leave config at opt/docker/Jellyfin.

I'm assuming it couldn't delete files that were currently open and in use.

Seems reasonable. Do you know which folders in my attachment in my post above are cache folders? I wouldn't mind cleaning up my Jellyfin and moving them out of the config folder.

This is my cache folder.

Thanks. What about "extracted-audio-images" and "attachments"? Do you have those in your config or cache folders?

FYI. I got home today and my plugins were missing again, and I had to reinstall them. I cant be for sure, but I thought I checked to make sure my plugins were present before I nested my cache folders under my config folder and changed my compose file accordingly. I was surprised that my plugins were missing again. I'll give it a couple more days, to see if this was in fact the problem. I find it weird that my new cache folder is empty though. Not sure what initiates cache, but certainly there was some watch and navigation activity this afternoon.
