How to update Jellyfin

This will keep all your settings as is, but update to the latest version of Jellyfin.

SSH into your server:

ssh [email protected]

Shutdown Jellyfin:

.shutdown/jellyfin

Go into the apps directory:

cd apps

Rename the old installation in case you need to revert back to it:

mv jellyfin jellyfin-old

Download the latest version:

wget -r -np -nd -A "jellyfin_*-amd64.tar.gz" https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/server/linux/latest-stable/amd64/

Unpack the archive:

tar -xzf jellyfin_*-amd64.tar.gz

Go back to the home directory:

cd

Restart Jellyfin:

.startup/jellyfin

You should now be running the latest version.

In Jellyfin, go to "Settings -> Dashboard" to check the current Server Version.
