Why jump from 10.11.11 directly to 12.0? -> Blog Post

You can find more details about and discuss this release on the official forums.

As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup of your metadata/configs before upgrading!

Direct upgrades from 10.10.7 and 10.11.x to 12.0 are supported; intermediate upgrades are not required. Users running releases older than 10.10.7 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 10.10.7 before migrating to 12.0.

Installed repository plugins (anything not built-in) should also be removed before migrating. Plugins will likely need time to adapt to the new database changes, so re-adding them afterward is the safest approach for testing.

Official plugins compatible with Jellyfin are available through the stable plugin repository. If you have changed to the unstable plugin repository please change it back.

Go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Manage Repositories
Update the Plugin Repository URL to: https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/plugin/manifest.json

After migrating please perform the following steps.

Perform a full library scan to restore alternative versions
Run the "Optimize database" scheduled task

How do you get this to work remotely easily for old people on smart tvs?

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Domain + reverse proxy. The security issues some people here claim are significantly overblown.

Or, unpopular opinion, use Cloudflare tunnels. Almost too easy to setup and free of charge. Much easier than reserve proxy imho. Of course it has drawbacks, e.g. many are critical toward the company

[–] black0ut@pawb.social 2 points 1 hour ago

Cloudflare tunnels need logins, depend on cloudflare, and allow cloudflare to sniff all your traffic.

They're easy, but we should stop recommending them. They're a terrible solution, both for the internet as a whole and for your personal privacy.
