A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  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).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Thank you for posting this. I tend to get a lot of my opensource project info from Lemmy so people who take the time to post it are awesome.

Just updated my home instance. Can confirm that 10.11.7 is available in the Debian repos and the update went perfect. I got a new kernel in the same update : D

Hi!

So I installed jellyfin on Bazzite as per this video.

But he didn't explain how to update the server. Could you maybe tell me how you did it with your server? Maybe it could help me figure out how to update mine as well.

The video uses quadlets, which afaik, is just using systemd units to run containers via podman. Therefore, you can just run

podman stop jellyfin (podman ps to get the actual name of the jellyfin container)

podman rm jellyfin

podman pull docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

systemctl restart jellyfin.container (or whatever you called your unit when you set it up)

Quick google says you can setup auto updates if you want: https://major.io/p/podman-quadlet-automatic-updates/

Caveat: I am a docker compose user, I may have missed something due to lack of familiarity with quadlets/podman

You're correct.

The only time I can think of that this approach wouldn't work is if the quadlet config file specified a tag/version on the image setting besides latest. That is, if the quadlet file specified something like Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:a_old_version. I usually stick with latest on mine.

EG: Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

It worked! Thanks so much!

I suppose I'll start looking into docker/containers/quadlets etc, so I actually understand what I am using lol
