SOLVED: Jellyfin Stopped working all of a sudden.

[WinnerWind]

Hi all!

I have been running an Arch Linux web server for quite some time. Yesterday was the first time that I made my Home Server open for the public (The public being me and my two friends)

All of a sudden one of my friends told me that my Jellyfin server stopped running. I stopped the systemd unit and tried re-starting it (The systemctl unit was working fine before) and it reports that it stopped with an error. The journalCTL logs show this :

I have these packages

[soham@thinkcenter ~]$ yay -Qs jellyfin
local/jellyfin-ffmpeg 1:7.1.1p4-1
   Jellyfin fork of ffmpeg
local/jellyfin-server 10.10.7-1
   Jellyfin server backend
local/jellyfin-web 10.10.7-1
   Web client for Jellyfin


What is going on here? How can I get my jellyfin setup up and running again?

After scanning through nearly 500+ lines of errors (that was a lengthy read!), I figured out the solution. Simply remove system.xml and migrations.xml from /etc/jellyfin/

sudo mv /etc/jellyfin/system.xml /etc/jellyfin/system.xml.bak
sudo mv /etc/jellyfin/migrations.xml /etc/jellyfin/migrations.xml.bak

I was prompted to do the system setup again but the prompt went on its own a few hours later, weird.

I'm not sure what caused it to corrupt in the first place. Any ideas?

That usually happens if you run out of disk space.
