    Hi all, 

    hope someone has an additional idea. 

    Problem: I am trying to create a fresh setup for Jellyfin using the Container Manager on Synology (which is actually Docker under the Hood, despite the new name) 
    When accessing the Jellyfin page I see that it offers to connect to the server but it is somehow an old entry since it wont connect. Adding a "new" Server connection works, but it requests a login (not a new registration) and although I have the user's credentials I used on my old setup, the login fails. 

     I already tried to stop and delete the container and also the image. Re-downloading the image and creating a new container shows the same result. 
    I then used the CLI (SSH on Terminal to Synology and switching to Root access and Sudo Shell) to dive deep into the docker folder. 
    Using
    Code:
    docker volume prune
    to remove old subvolumes from previous containers removed a couple which had jellyfin references in it. But even when removing all of them, and then setting up a new container still shows the "old" server and asks for credentials where the credentials used last time, do not work anymore. 

    Where else can I find the remains of the previous installation to reset everything to a new start?
    Or can I otherwise force the web access to show the initial setup wizard?

    Best regards,

    Did you run "docker volume prune" while the Jellyfin container was stopped? Also, that command would only work if the Jellyfin /config and /cache volumes were created and managed by docker. If you provided a host volume for /config, it would not get pruned with the prune command you used.

    Sorry, forgot to mention.
    Yes, I created both /cache and /config outside of docker and linked them during container creation.
    Yes, Container was stopped when cleaning up volumes.

    Also, both /config and /cache have been empty when setting up the new container.

    If that is the case, make sure you clear your browser cache. Jellyfin caches aggressively in your browser.

    Yes, that helped!
    Thanks for this tip, didn't think about caching.
