Luke 37125 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi, with our packages this is default behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbm224 2 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Isn't there a way to stop it? I really don't want it running all the time. Most of the time that the computer is on, I wont be using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37125 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi, have you tried clicking the "Shutdown" button on the front page of the emby server dashboard? That should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Jdiesel 1114 Posted July 31, 2017 Solution Share Posted July 31, 2017 Running sudo systemctl disable emby-server.service should prevent the systemd from running at startup. You can then run sudo service emby-server start to start the server manually. Any updates to Emby will likely re-enable the systemd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumbaar 13 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi, with our packages this is default behavior. Hi, have you tried clicking the "Shutdown" button on the front page of the emby server dashboard? That should do the trick. Has this changed? As I can't seem to get the server to shutdown and stay down after clicking "Shutdown" in the GUI. It just starts back up again. What is the best way to gracefully shutdown an EMBY service running on Ubuntu, for a reboot or maintenance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 It's because the service is configured as always restart - I've mentioned this to @@Luke 3/4 times now. The shutdown isn't going to work within Emby itself - systemd will start it back up again instantaneously. You can copy the service to /etc/systemd/system, edit it and then systemctl daemon-reload - that'll override the behaviour and persist through updates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37125 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Actually we've already made some changes and it should be perfect with the next release, thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumbaar 13 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Actually we've already made some changes and it should be perfect with the next release, thanks. Sweet, as long as we can bring it back up again easy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
