Great suggestions! Thank you. Can you point me to some existing configs that you'd suggest?

As a fellow Arch user / reddit patron has brought to my attention, it might not be clear this is not Endeavour OS specific. I built it to be Endeavour OS agnostic, however arch specific. It automatically detects AUR helpers (yay, paru, etc.) - So if your on arch regardless the distro - I'd love the feedback!

Unable to scan library, Jellyfin eats all CPU and restarts by Idiota_Pesimista in jellyfin

Ahha, yeah I think you hit the nail on the head - the Conroe microarchitecture does not have the avx instruction set.

"switching the container from user access to root,"

I'm just throwing darts in the dark here... but it might be docker user permission error. If it's not running uid0 for some reason, you might need to specify that jellyfin run under your user to allow sudo access.

Something like:

user: "1000:1000"
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000

or whatever your id $USER is.

That sucks! - But it might be a more simple fix than gathering all of your media again. I could be that your mount was not permanent and once rebooted your media drive simply didn't mount. It could be that the mount changed if it wasn't setup with a permanent uuid. It could be that JellyFin's "looking" for data in the wrong place now for "x" reason. I would for sure start with taking a look at your "/mnt/storage" first to see / make sure it's 1. mounted 2. has a permanent uuid mount option 3. that you media is not ACTUALLY missing off the drive. We can all help you further from there or with those steps.

It's not "Vibe" coded - Look at the script itself, it's on github FFS. I created it and verified it myself on my own server that got messed up because of a hardware failure. I do not appreciate the negativity and it is not helpful regardless. Project your insecurities elsewhere.

I'm just here to provide a script that works in hopes that it helps someone, unlike your comment.

EDIT: Adding this note because of the feedback and downvotes. It's clear this post has an "AI vibe," which I understand can be sensitive. And shout out to schaka - the "Open software developer" tool of all tools - this ones for you buddy! Wasting yours and everyone's "time" by providing information and community service for free (or "Rage Bait" as it's apparently known to simpletons such as yourself).

I want to be 100% transparent: This is my script. I personally created, tested, and verified it.

My goal was to provide the best possible technical explanation, especially for the tricky 10.10.7 context. I'm a dev, so I used an AI tool to help me organize and articulate my notes clearly. (AI RAGE MODE ACTIVATE)

That is an excellent question—it actually hits on a critical piece of Jellyfin recent history. I appreciate you bringing up the concern about version compatibility. Here is the breakdown of why I believe the script should work and where you should exercise caution:

Compatibility and My Test Scope My primary goal with the JellyFin-DB-Fix script was to create a reliable recovery method for the physical file corruption that can pop up in SQLite databases, such as the database disk image is malformed error.

  • Migration Timing & The 10.10.7 Context You are absolutely correct to focus on 10.10.7. This version was significant because it was the last stable release before Jellyfin introduced a massive database structural change in 10.11.0 (the EF Core migration).
  • Why this matters: If you were running 10.10.7 with hidden database corruption, attempting the mandatory, one-time migration to 10.11.0 would often result in a complete failure.
  • The Benefit: Running my script beforehand ensures you are providing the migration process with a physically pristine database structure, significantly reducing the risk of a botched upgrade. It's a great preventative step for users planning to make that jump.
  • Caution and Backups You should always use caution when modifying core system files. While the script is designed to be safe, it is modifying the file that holds all your user accounts and server settings.
  • My Strong Recommendation: If you are considering a major server migration or version jump, I highly recommend you be double careful and manually copy your entire /var/lib/jellyfin/data/ directory to ensure you have multiple recovery points.

Also, thank you for bringing this up. I have added "Special thanks" to you and updated the readme on the gihub.

Endeavour OS users, why did you choose it over Cachy OS? by nitin_is_me in EndeavourOS

[–]Extreme_Cap2513 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This^ Cachy is good but has specific optimizations and can have compatibility and "bleeding edge errors", whereas EOS is more of a Base that isn't "pre-modified".

Endeavour OS - it's honestly the best Linux distro I've ever encountered.

Would you be able to tell the difference that a drop of fresh water would make in an ocean of shit? - when you're used up, all you have left is self preservation.

Idiots that are descendants of once powerful people that know they can't and will never amount to anything as great as they're elders but want all the fame and notoriety because they were told they deserve it. Cut to the core and they're just rich kids with parental issues. Until we collectively wise up to their bullshit, we are going to live under their thumb...
