Can't run Emby 'latest' on Docker

[rcanpolat 5]

Im running Emby on my Unraid server, I was using the docker repo emby/embyserver:4.8.0.39

A few months ago i changed from  emby/embyserver:latest to beta and encountered some issues, when i tried to go back to emby/embyserver:latest it kept failing to run Emby. My only way to get it to run is to specify a version and not use the latest tag. I was running emby/embyserver:4.8.0.39 and today I upgraded my version to emby/embyserver:4.8.0.39 but before doing so i swapped back to the 'latest' tag and got the below errors

Any ideas?

Downgrading is not supported. Once you start the server with a later version database changes can be made that the older version doesn't support. The latest tag is for the stable release branch, currently 4.7.13.

So i just need to wait for 'latest' to catch up to my current release 4.8.0.42 and then i can hop back over to latest?

Also how can you tell 'latest' is running 4.7.13 from here: https://hub.docker.com/r/emby/embyserver/tags


 

[Q-Droid 989]

The way I tell is by matching the digest and release dates.

To get back on the stable branch you would have to wait for the next stable release which could be a long time. Other options may be (not sure if they all work) to make a backup of beta using the plug-in. Wipe and start from scratch on stable (latest). Then restore from the backup to bring in the config and users to 4.7.13. Make sure you prepare in advance by making a raw backup of the Emby data because I don't know what could be lost and not handled by the plug-in. If your library is large it can take a long time to rescan. Or, if your setup is not big and not many users just start from scratch - same applies for rescan time. All tracking and watch status would be lost.

Going forward always have a raw backup of Emby data before going up or down in versions.

5 months later, I've finally been able to upgrade to the 'latest' tag. I've been trying on and off every 3-4 weeks since August 2023 and it kept failing until today!

My Emby is now showing 4.8.0.80
