SOLVED: SSO plugin lost randomly

[the-bort-the]

Looking to understand why sometimes my SSO plugin just disappears from my list of active, installed plugins. I don't use any other plugins. The ones that come as part of the container install seem to remain installed. 

I'm currently deploying this as a container and using version 10.10.3.

Once reinstalled the SSO plugin works fine

SSO-plugin: 3.5.2.4

Does this only happen when you upgrade Jellyfin versions or re-create the container? Can you share the config for your container? And if you still have a jellyfin log from the last time this happened, share that via privatebin.net.

It's entirely possible during a recreation of the container.

Code:

---
services:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin:10.10.3
    container_name: jellyfin
    group_add:
      - "105"
    ports:
      - 8096:8096
      - 8920:8920/tcp
    volumes:
      - /jellyfin:/config
      - /jellyfin:/cache
      - /jellyfin_1:/jellyfin_1
      - /jellyfin_2:/jellyfin_2
      - /jellyfin_3:/jellyfin_3
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - authentik_net
      - jellyfin_net
      - traefik_network

    extra_hosts:
      - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"
    devices:

You need to provide separate folders on the host for /config and /cache. I'm pretty sure that, as currently configured, the cache cleanup job that runs once a day is blowing a lot of things away since /config and /cache are, essentially, intermingled.

Code:

volumes:
      - /jellyfin/config:/config
      - /jellyfin/cache:/cache

Like this.

ahh wow good catch. Change has been made. Guess I'll have to redo all the users and config, etc. I'll do some let it cook and see how the next few days are. I'm sure I can go find the user config, etc from the old config location.

You should be able to copy the appropriate folders in /jellyfin into their respective folders.

Code:

cache/:

I was able to save some of the directories, but not all. Lesson to take a backup before blinding rebuilding the containers. Luckily it was only a couple of users and the SSO information for Authentik.
