Hello!
Jellyfin 1.9.7 - installed one liner
Ubuntu 22.0 A1 compute OCI

I restarted my server from web (button), but failed to restart. Trying to "sudo systemctl start jellyfin" again showed this status code

Code:
ubuntu@cine-kixta:/var/log/jellyfin$ sudo service jellyfin status

I noticed that in /var/logs/jellyfin this status

I made chown to ubuntu and jellyfin, none of them worked

Code:
sudo chown -R jellyfin:jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin

sudo chmod -R u+rw /var/lib/jellyfin

Even restarting, the log didnt regenerate (where's saved then?)

Also I noticed that /opt/jellyfin/jellyfin.sh didn't existed, so I created this file:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/jellyfin

And now we have 1 exit code:

Looking forward to the answer

Since you are running Jellyfin directly on Ubuntu, /opt/jellyfin is not used. Just delete that directory and the script you created. And you should not be starting jellyfin simply by typing "jellyfin", which is what appears to be happening.

You need to be using systemctl to manage jellyfin.

Code:
sudo systemctl restart jellyfin

Stop, start, and status are also valid commands.

As for the "restart" button in the web, I also noticed this issue and there appears to be an open issue already.

Thank you. But even then, by default /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service appeared like this.

Code:
  GNU nano 6.2                                                                                            /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service                                                                                                      

[Unit]

Description=Jellyfin

After=network.target

[Service]

Type=simple

User=ubuntu

Restart=always

ExecStart=/opt/jellyfin/jellyfin.sh

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

ExecStart where should point at?

That file should not exist in a "one-liner" install. A package/one-liner install will create this file.

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/jellyfin.service

Which looks like this.

Restart = on-failure

TimeoutSec = 15

SuccessExitStatus=0 143

[Install]

WantedBy = multi-user.target

FIXED! The possible issue is that web restart changes .service configuration.

Writing the above configuration in /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service , then sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Also enable user and writing in the following directories:

Code:
sudo chown -R jellyfin:jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin

sudo chmod -R u+rw /var/lib/jellyfin

sudo chown -R jellyfin:jellyfin /etc/default/jellyfin

sudo chmod -R u+rw /etc/default/jellyfin

sudo chmod 644 /etc/jellyfin/migrations.xml

sudo systemctl start jellyfin - It's up and running. Thanks!

Do you have the Reports plugin activated? Disabling fixed the web button restart failure on my Windows 10 setup.

Interesting. I will give this a try.

TheDreadPirate · 2024-07-10, 06:01 PM

For me, the Playback Reporting plugin was the culprit. Which makes sense since it has its own database file.

I remembered a problem a long time ago with the Restart button and Reports.

When this post showed up, I activated the Reports plugin to test and it failed with the same error message.
