1h ago there was a container update pushed for some odd reason this update deleted everything on the /config folder and the users+ library+plugins had to be reconfigured

We recently pushed a 10.3.0 container in prep for the official 10.3.0 release. Guess you have autoupdate set in your docker management system.

How did you setup the docker container originally?

What was the complete command used/what ports, volumes, and options were set in the GUI?

No data should be being deleted.

I use ouroboros to pull new images, I didn't lost plugins and the data at /config seems to be fine, but after the update jellyfin refuses to work, seems to be related with ffprobe:

ERROR(S): Option 'ffprobe' is unknown.

full log: https://pastebin.com/Vt4wNurt

EDIT: nevermind, just saw this was fixed already, I didn't had the latest image.

Kind of? I'm asking for info on if you used volume or if you used the host filesystem and how you had it configured.

I'm kind of curious if you had volumes set so the update created new volumes making it appear that the config folder was wiped out.

Looks right to me. Not too shocking since docker is easy to setup right.

Hmm... I wonder if @nvllsvm pushed a defective container that did something before pushing a corrected one?

We have had no other reports of a deletion of config data inside docker or otherwise so its hard to say what happened here.

I just hope you had backups so this is just a minor inconvenience for you :(

@sparky8251 I'm pretty sure he pushed at least two containers for the new version, the first one I got automatically with ouroboros and the second one I pulled manually right after I reported my problems here. The fist push he did wasn't even starting here, but my config files were not touched.

@evertonstz Please share the output of this command. Do you know which image ID was the culprit?

docker image history jellyfin/jellyfin

@nvllsvm I sadly had to remake my server two days ago since I had a hardware failure, but since Ouroboros do notify me on Gotify I have the last notification it sent me about Jellyfin:

jellyfin updated from 11e6303e05 to fa07cdd18e
