How to check for Jellyfin updates (claytonerrington.com)

I enjoy working on selfhosted items and Jellyfin is in the mix. As with many software there are updates to them. Jellyfin seems to not have a great way to check for updates and install automatically. However, you can use the built-in API to help with that.

I just have it installed in a native Ubuntu instance "on the metal" and it seems to be updated pretty frequently from there. I don't think I installed it via PPK either. Just Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with jellyfin from apt installed and I'm on 10.8.10 from apt upgrade.

On Ubuntu the install.sh script adds a line to the sources list and that’s why an apt update && apt upgrade works.

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.sources

your method is great. another way to think about updating software like this would be in the docker container version. you can use watchtower to update them automatically. I personally use docker and this method for updates

I was just searching for a program like watchtower, I'm definitely going to check it out!
