I’m have some trouble on how to get Jellyfin running on Ubuntu server. I’m Very new to using Linux with the command line so please be patient with me.
i have tried to Duck(duckgo) a solution but i cant find anything that works for me.
If you need some kind of logs please tell me how to get them!
// A very lost linux noob
How did you install jellyfin?
It should not core-dump (read: hard crash, something has gone terribly wrong), at best you should get a configuration error and errors like that.
You can see the logs of any systemd service/unit with this: journalctl -u <name of sevice> so in this case journalctl -u jellyfin (Tip: add -f to follow the output of a running service - useful for monitoring).
Note that some programs log to their own files (and not to stdout) so if the above command comes out empty you should look into /var/log/ directory.
I highly recommend taking the time to learn docker instead of running directly.
Maybe a docker install would be easier… something like this might help
Learn a docker compose deploy. It’s a knowledge that pays off for services other than jellyfin too.
I’m guessing you installed from Flatpak and it doesn’t have the permissions to touch what it needs to outside of the sandbox.
Install plainly, or run a container with the proper permissions.
