Note, Jellyfin just recently had a very major update to their app.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Run: bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://git.community-scripts.org/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/branch/main/ct/jellyfin.sh)"

I too ran into this, rebooted, tried to install again, and the install process took seconds to complete. Now jellyfin is running, but I have no idea if it completed successfully. How do I tell?
