Niklos 2 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Hello, I am using Emby in a docker container on my Synology 1819+ NAS. I am using the Synology Docker Package and the "linuxserver/emby:latest" docker image. Right now, I am running Emby 4.3.1.0 version. I wish to update it to the 4.4.2.0 version. How can I do it without having to reinstall everything ? Is it possible ? Thanks ! edit : I found the tutorial : https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/emby It seams to do exactly what I want. So I guess I am going to find a way to backup my emby docker container and update it following this tutorial. I just need to find a way to back it up !

Luke 36881 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hi, glad you found it. We do have a general wiki article on backing up: https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159936-backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niklos 2 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Thanks Luke. I finally did it yesterday following the instruction of someone on a forum and it worked. Here is how I did : Step 1 : backup => Copy the shared docker/emby folder Stop the container.Export the container (content + parameter) Step 2 : delete the linuxserver/emby:latest image (if not done yet) from the "image" docker menu Step 3 : download the new linuxserver/emby:latest image from docker regestry Step 4 : from the container menu, right clic on the container (which is stopped), action => delete Step 5 : from the container menu, right clic on the container (which is stopped), action => start Wait a couple minutes until the container has started then from the emby administration interface (http://NASip:8096/ by default), clic on the wheel, top right on the left menu, it tells you it need a restart so you restart it Step 6 : Wait a couple minutes until the container has started then from the emby administration interface (http://NASip:8096/ by default), clic on the wheel, top right on the left menu then double check that you have the right version number on the left Step 7 : grab a beer to congratulate yourself for the well done job. edit : Tutorial V2 (same as above but more detailed and reordered) : Step 1 : Stop the emby container Step 2.1 : backup => Copy the shared docker/emby folder Step 2.2 : backup => Export the container (content + parameter) Step 3 : delete the linuxserver/emby:latest image (if not done yet) from the "image" docker menu Step 4 : download the new linuxserver/emby:latest image from docker regestry Step 5 : from the container menu, right clic on the container (which is stopped), action => delete Step 6 : from the container menu, right clic on the container (which is stopped), action => start Step 7 : Wait a couple minutes until the container has started then from the emby administration interface (http://NASip:8096/ by default) Step 8 : clic on the wheel, top right on the left menu, it tells you it need a restart. So you restart it. Step 9 : Wait a couple minutes until the container has started then from the emby administration interface (http://NASip:8096/ by default) Step 10 : clic on the wheel, top right on the left menu then double check that you have the right version number on the left Step 11 : grab a beer to congratulate yourself for the well done job.

Magenof 2 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 @Niklos thats a very convoluted way to update dockers. If you keep your emby config data outside of the docker you should be able to update the container without having to setup everything again. Thats kind of the point of using dockers. I’d suggest also checking out https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower its a docker container which can keep all your other dockers up to date. (It will require ssh into synology for initial setup) Hope this info will make your life a bit easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolspot 18 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I've updated a few docker containers without issues by stopping the container, right clicking on shutdown contrainer, clearing it, downloading the image again to get a fresh updated copy then starting the container.
