    Hi.

    I am planning to install unraid om my home server instead of the windows 11 pro I am running now.
    If I connect my new hard drives to the new unraid server, but migrate everything else according to this script, including the library data. Will the watched status and everything like that be kept for all the users in JellyFin server on the unraid PC? Since that is stored in one of the database files right? But the connection between the playback data and the library dirs will all change of course, so I am afraid everything will be reset.

    On my own personal user I have a trakt.tv plugin setup and working. That one can perhaps sync everything for me, but for all the other users I don't have that.

    I guess I could take a backup of everything and try to test this first, so I know the results from beforehand.

    I don't remember the last time another user tried that script and reported back with the results. It hasn't been updated by the author in a long time so YMMV.

    Hypothetically, it would migrate all the Windows paths to docker paths in the database. And would preserve watch status.

    I don't have a choice if I am going over to unraid. I have backup in case things go south, but need to migrate over sooner or later. But thanks for the warning. I'll try and ask in the script's github discussion if anyone have tried them on newer versions.

    Full migration did not work. I got errors on my database being malformed. I started jellyfin server from scratch.
