I am going to soon start over with my homeserver that has jellyfin running on it and I’d like to take over all user accounts on there plus their collected data, like watched episodes, into the new installation. Its a linux system, no docker, next system is going to be the same basically.
Via searches I found a few solutions online, some on reddit, some other places so it seems possible. Just asking here as well since no one has asked before, seeing this is a quite new channel, but also because all solutions I found go back a few years and I wondered if there is anything more recent I may have missed in my search.
Some solutions were heavily hands on looking up data in sql tables, if there is anything more user friendly it would be great.
Not tried it myself, but you create a trakt account for the user, sync it then use that to preserve watch history on the new instance.
If thats the easiest way to do it, that would be a bit sad.
