I... actually managed to do this and it was somewhat messy to get through with it, but I did it. My 'stoppers' initially were simply needing to update some of the #Jellyfin's xml configs for any wrong/old paths/values, and lastly, the #SQLite DBs themselves which had old paths as well - most of which were easy to fix as they're text values, but some were (JSON) blobs, using the same extension on #VSCode, this wasn't that hard to do either by simply exporting the blob, editing the blob's JSON text value, and reimporting the blob to the column. Oh, I also had to update meta.json files of all plugins I've installed to point to the new path to their logos.

Now my Jellyfin #LinuxServer.io container sitting in an unprivileged (#Debian #Linux) #LXC container on #Proxmox is set up with hardware transcoding using the #AMD Ryzen 5 5600G onboard iGPU (cos I'm getting impatient in waiting for my #Intel #ArcA380 to arrive). I'll update my #ErsatzTV container to do the same. Everything's perfect now, 'cept, I still wouldn't recommend users to stream Jellyfin on the web or a web-based client using transcoding, cos while the transcoding itself is perfect, Jellyfin seems to have an issue (that I never got on #Plex) whereby the subtitle would desync pretty consistently if not direct playing - with external or embedded subs, regardless. Dk if that can ever be fixed though, considering the issue has been up since 2023 with no fix whatsoever.

There's also a separate issue I'm having where Jellyfin does not seem to support discovering/serving media files that are contained in a symlink directory (even though there were some people on their forums reporting in the past that it should) - I've reported it last week, but it's not going anywhere for now. Regardless though, I'm absolutely loving Jellyfin despite some of its rough edges, and my users are loving it too. I think I've considered myself 'migrated' from Plex to Jellyfin, but I'll still keep Plex around as backup for these 2 cases/issues I've mentioned, for now.

Any tips on migrating #Jellyfin from the native #Linux install on one #Debian server (VM), to a separate Debian server using #Docker with the #LinuxServer.io container?

Liebe #selfhosting und #linuxserver Freunde.
Könnt ihr mir sagen ob das folgende Angebot eine gute Basis für ein #homelab bietet?
Festplatten hab ich noch genug rumliegen.

I’m deep into building a #Pixelfed instance with a nice #Docker Compose option from @jippi and I realize I need to figure out the #hardware situation. I am going to #host this from my office closet. Does anyone have any #homelab tips or suggestions on how I should spec this out? #LinuxServer #containers #Linux #Computing #BOFH #neckbeard #nerdalert

Is there really no way for me to update #LinuxServer #Docker containers' path to app data/config to somewhere else other than /config without forking it? As neat as their containers/images are, I feel like surely this option (should) exists but I couldn't seem to find it in their docs/READMEs?

Thinking about self hosting some static sites on my mini PC that I haven't been using. Any advice? This is the model: https://www.geekompc.com/geekom-mini-it8/ #SelfHosting #Foss #LinuxServer

@paulknightly Some years ago I also dropped the box and got my own private cloud with #nextcloud and #syncthing on my #linuxdeskop and #linuxserver at German datacenter provider #hetzner - I it!

Fedora 39 released with GNOME 45 and a new immutable variant called Fedora Onyx with Budgie Desktop

@snott Should work with #docker, too. #linuxserver has some decent images.

What Linux distro would be best to run on the server I'm setting up? ​​
I plan on using it for a few things, but mainly web-server stuff.
#linux #server #linuxserver #webserver

Hi, I'm doing re #introduction here.

Male, from Jakarta Indonesia.
Have been using #linux since #redhat is a distro, #mandrake still exists and #slackware still cool.

I earn money by managing our customer's operating system, mostly major distribution of linux server, some windows, and select solaris.

My daily driver is Macbook (MacOS) though
So I have more credibility on #linuxserver compared with #linuxdesktop

Hoping to have warm, relax, and bar-like conversation here in the #fediverse

How to Protect Your Server With Fail2Ban in Linux

#Linuxserver #Developer #Fail2ban #security

I'm going to start recommending that everyone find container sources that are NOT LinuxServer.io. Their cavalier attitude towards software quality and penchant for blaming users has worn incredibly thin. Take this example of what I had to fix this morning: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag/issues/316

They made changes that caused existing working configs to no longer be valid which lead to the container no longer starting. Per the container documentation, you're only supposed to modify the site-configs and proxy-configs files to suit your particular needs and anything else would be considered unsupported. The files that broke it were... not that. But their response was "well we don't know what people are changing so we don't migrate anything."

On top of this horrible "it's okay if updates break your setup because you're an idiot who doesn't read logs unless something breaks" attitude, they actually, in the year 2023, recommend NOT doing automatic updates. Like, what? That's an insane stance to take.

Dump #LinuxServer containers and find something else maintained that doesn't treat you like an idiot for their own poor choices. #homelab #Docker #containers
