If you have the time, I’d love to learn how to set up a hot standby, not just for jellyfin but in general.
Comment on New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7

Really looking forward to 10.11 when the EFCore functionality is in place so I can run it with PostgreSQL and actually backup the DB properly and also have proper replication for a hot standby.

I was imagining setting up an old laptop as a backup to my main server with PostgreSQL replication for the Jellyfin DB and some sort of file synchronization for media and metadata. I have yet to manually setup PostgreSQL replication outside of a cloud provider where the process is automated, so I was planning it as an interesting learning experience. However, from the post above, it seems I was misinformed about the timeframe of PostgreSQL support in Jellyfin.

Thanks! I’m running jellyfin inside of docker, so perhaps there’s a way to keep the images synchronized. Media sync would happen separate, as you suggest.

Oh that would be nice. I would use that to just go into the database and fix all my broken music metadata which I can’t see to fix any other way.

I stand corrected about PostgreSQL support dropping in 10.11. Seems we may still have quite a wait ahead of us.

As far as I can understand, even with EFCore in 10.11, there still will only sqlite be available as a database backend. There are plans for postgresql and other types but it’s a much more distant prospect. Reference

Ah, seems I had a misunderstanding and appreciate the info!
