Flatpak on Manjaro

[LOTN 0]

Just discovered Emby and installed it from the official AUR repository in Manjaro. I have it completely setup to my liking. What I would like to know what would be involved in replacing the install from AUR with the emby-server-flatpak_4.4.3.0_x86_64.flatpak without loosing any of my settings? Thanks

Hi, to be honest we haven't tried this. I guess I would first install the flatpak version and see if it uses the same data folder. If not then you can always migrate the current one.

So they should run side by side without issue?

If they use a different data folder, yes.

Good day,

 

Decided that on the other OS I'm sticking to the installer version I have here for uniformity, Now with that said I just finished setting it up yesterday and have yet to install Emby. It is Arched based just like Manjaro and for the most part out of the box just like Manjaro. I have the same username, same computer name so porting over the Emby data base / settings should be fairly straight forward.  All I need now is a good guide from you guys on how to do it and the commands for starting up Emby after install and the one for having Emby start at boot. Thanks

Figured someone would of posted by now. Emby is now the only thing I have to do.

Regarding backing up and migrating the server data, have you taken a look at our knowledge base article on backing up emby server ?
