Switching Emby Server from Windows 10 to Ubuntu Server


Recommended Posts

Just wondering if it was possible to copy all of the files for the Emby server from Windows 10 to Ubuntu Server (18.04), and then change the path directory to the correct folders / paths, that way all of the users, watch history, and metadata can be retained.

Hi, I personally wouldn't do this across operating systems but of course you could try it.

I would suggest using the Emby backup plugin for this. I used that when I changed OS.

When you say metadata, do you mean you do not save metadata with media?

 

How are you libraries setup?  As path changes could/would need changed in config files as well as database entries.

 

You would be able to restore users and userdata with the plugin (assuming Premiere status)
