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
I forgot that it's April first, and was wondering what catasthropic event had happend in order that it had to be stated in the title that its not a joke
You can always tell who does real IT work in these threads lol
Is it standard practice to release the security updates on GitHub?
I am a very amateur self hoster and wouldn't go on the github of projects on my own unless I wanted to read the "read me" for install instructions. I am realizing that I got aware I needed to update my Jellyfin container ASAP only thanks to this post. I would have never checked the GitHub.
Is it standard practice to release the security updates on GitHub?
Yes.
And then the maintainers of the package on the package repository you use will release the patch there. Completely standard operation.
I recommend younto read up on package repositories on Linux and package maintainers etc.
Good thing my Jellyfin is behind Wireguard.
Consider doing the same if your usecase permits.
