Help understanding the emby installation in docker

[Vahn84 0]

Hi all guys,

i've just recreated my emby container and wasn't surprised to see my duplicati backup didn't help restoring ALL the settings/users/plugins. This is something that has already happened to me. I experienced a server reset even just redeploying my container with portainer (i wanted to update the emby version). No matter how hard i try when i restore a backup i can't login anymore inside my server...and even if i reset the password and get back in the emby dashboard, every setting, plugin, user i had before is gone and need to be setup again

I know that there's a proprietary backup with emby premiere (i am a premiere user) but i wanted to keep all my backups managed by the same entity, in this case the duplicati server that's in charge to backup all of my docker containers. Also i'd like to know why all my other docker containers do not reset if i redeploy them while emby does. I've tried searching here and on google but i couldn't find an answer i could understand so...here i am

The worst thing is that when this happens the connection with jellyseer is completely broken and i have to setup back again jellyseer from the beginning

this is my docker compose in portainer 

 

version: "2.3"
services:
  emby:
    image: emby/embyserver:latest
    container_name: embyserver
    network_mode: host # Enable DLNA and Wake-on-Lan
    environment:
      - UID=1026 # The UID to run emby as (default: 2)
      - GID=100 # The GID to run emby as (default 2)
      - GIDLIST=100 # A comma-separated list of additional GIDs to run emby as (default: 2)
    volumes:
      - /volume2/docker/emby:/config
      - /volume1/data/media/tvshows:/tvshows
      - /volume1/data/media/movies:/movies # Media directory
    ports:
      - 8096:8096 # HTTP port
      - 8920:8920 # HTTPS port
    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri # VAAPI/NVDEC/NVENC render nodes
    restart: on-failure

I'd really appreciate any help

Is you jellyfin setup with the same ports as Emby

ports: - 8096:8096 # HTTP

port - 8920:8920 # HTTPS port

Jellyfin took the code from Emby back in the day, and didn't bother to change the default port's.

thank you for your reply!

I do not have a jellyfin server. I have jellyseerr connected to the emby server
