Original Pull Request: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/10169

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Fix the Jellyfin launcher on SELinux-enabled systems. Replace /usr/bin/jellyfin symlink with a 2-line shell script, which itself calls the target of the symlink.

  • The symlink causes a problem with SELinux because it understands symlinks.
  • This shell script automatically inherits the correct SELinux context.

Changes

  • Add 2-line shell script that calls the Jellyfin executable
  • Update Fedora spec file to use new launcher script.

Issues
Fixes Issue 8114
