Debian 12 (Debuntu) automatic installer doesn't correctly install jellyfin. #21

Closed ThaBluNate closed 4 months ago

ThaBluNate commented 4 months ago

In Debian 12, if you use the automatic installer from jellyfin docs, curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash, jellyfin won't install correctly

Generally, if you install like normal, you are unable to start it again (even with the same command line args as the service)

Video: https://youtu.be/LTMU_kj-dmQ

Non-working solutions: ln -s /usr/share/jellyfin/web/ /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web (Gets you into the web GUI, but cant render videos)

joshuaboniface commented 4 months ago

You are not starting the service correctly.

When installed via the Debian packages, Jellyfin is installed as a systemd service. Just running jellyfin doesn't start it with the proper environment and configuration to work. You will need to use sudo systemctl start jellyfin (or sudo service jellyfin start) to start it back up after a shutdown in the WebUI.

joshuaboniface commented 4 months ago

If you do want to though, you can run it from the CLI with /usr/bin/jellyfin --webdir=/usr/share/jellyfin/web --ffmpeg=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg ;-) It's that first argument that's needed since the "Debianized" location of the Web files is different from the place Jellyfin expects by default. And the ffmpeg argument is needed to specify which ffmpeg binary to use.

I actually did try that just after recording the video - didnt work! Idk why, but it didnt like it :(

joshuaboniface commented 4 months ago

You'd need to do it as the jellyfin user or it wouldn't have write access to the data files, so more like sudo -u jellyfin /usr/bin/jellyfin [...].

ThaBluNate commented 4 months ago

Used systemctl and it's giving the same result as /usr/bin/jellyfin --webdir=/usr/share/jellyfin/web --ffmpeg=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg :( It shows the server list and I cant """connect""" to the server from localhost (???)

joshuaboniface commented 4 months ago

What is the output of sudo systemctl status jellyfin?

ThaBluNate commented 4 months ago 
blu@bluMediaServer:~$ sudo systemctl start jellyfin
[sudo] password for blu:
blu@bluMediaServer:~$ █

My trackpad also no longer works

joshuaboniface commented 4 months ago

That indicates the service was issued a start, but to check the status you use sudo systemctl status jellyfin.

ThaBluNate commented 4 months ago

Says it's active, but i need to restart debian anyways so give me a second

joshuaboniface commented 4 months ago

I asked for the full output. Please paste the full output.

ThaBluNate commented 4 months ago

I told ya i had to restart debian - and then log onto github

I just tested on two Debian 12 systems with Jellyfin 10.9.1 and cannot reproduce anything like this while using systemctl to manage the service. Note that Jellyfin may take a little time to start especially if you have multiple plugins.

  1. Issued Shutdown in Jellyfin dashboard.

  2. Status of jellyfin.service:

$ systemctl status jellyfin

  1. The WebUI is perfectly reachable.

It's possible the symlinks and attempts to fix the manual process start broke something. I would suggest completely purging Jellyfin (sudo apt purge jellyfin jellyfin-web jellyfin-server) and reinstalling to get a clean slate. Note that this will delete Jellyfin data, so back up first if this is not already a fresh/unconfigured instance.

joshuaboniface commented 4 months ago

Either that or you have a bad value cached in your browser and should clear cache first and then attempt to reconnect. But your Jellyfin server is definitely running there.

ThaBluNate commented 4 months ago

I dont beleive there's that symlink anymore, I deleted it. Purged those packages, used sudo apt autoremove for good measure. Install logs -> https://pastebin.com/bB95PVBz I also cleared cache, but it didnt get fixed, only fixes when i delete the server and go back to the main page. (Same issue when used from another pc, so it's not a browser cache issue)

Anyways, deleted the server so it would let me use jellyfin, went back to the main page and went through the welcoming process, shut it down, and this time it worked (???) I'll update it i have related issues soon
