  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

Lol.

Still got the library issue, eh? Gonna have to just turn off services/apps/processes until you find the culprit.

lol, yeah. Gitea is next on the list, but I don't have much more I'm afraid, Immich and Nextcloud are critical apps for me, so if it isn't gitea or minecraft, then I might just setup a new server out of an old laptop to be my Jellyfin server and migrate my library there.

Are you losing your library on reboot?

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not even on reboot, it just get's deleted somehow, been happening for the past couple of months and I haven't been able to figure out why yet. I posted all about it here (https://lemmy.world/post/32756942) if you are interested in reading about it.

Do you have the media cleanup plugin installed for Jellyfin? I wonder if you change the PUID and/or GUID if you couldn't make sure Jellyfin wasn't the source of the deletion.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I don't have that plugin from what I can tell, and I did not install it manually either. What should I try changing the PUID and GUID to?

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I would think the Jellyfin logs would say if it deleted something. But I have to say, I cannot fully understand GUID and PUID in all cases. But you can try to subtract 1 digit from PUID (100 to 99) and then try to delete a show or movie within Jellyfin's interface. If it won't do it, then you've got the permissions at least where it can't delete things. It is possible to not view things as well, so it might take some research or trial and error and make sure you write down where it is now. But, it will remove one factor at least.

Finally caught it! It was Jellyfin stupid ass deleting my media!

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Fuck yeah! One issue down, 9,374 to go!

Can you spin up a VM or a docker image?

I've done this when services misbehave, and just migrate the DB over (Syncthing in particular).

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I may try that at some point but work keeps me pretty busy so it may take me a few weeks before I can try.
