Why jump from 10.11.11 directly to 12.0? -> Blog Post
You can find more details about and discuss this release on the official forums.
As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup of your metadata/configs before upgrading!
Direct upgrades from 10.10.7 and 10.11.x to 12.0 are supported; intermediate upgrades are not required. Users running releases older than 10.10.7 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 10.10.7 before migrating to 12.0.
Installed repository plugins (anything not built-in) should also be removed before migrating. Plugins will likely need time to adapt to the new database changes, so re-adding them afterward is the safest approach for testing.
Official plugins compatible with Jellyfin are available through the stable plugin repository. If you have changed to the unstable plugin repository please change it back.
Go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Manage Repositories Update the Plugin Repository URL to: https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/plugin/manifest.jsonAfter migrating please perform the following steps.
Perform a full library scan to restore alternative versions Run the "Optimize database" scheduled task___
This is how I set it up for my family and friends. Works like a charm, especially if you have a dynamic IP. Everyone just signs in through whichever app they want to use.
this is the way imo. I also took the time to disable internal authentication and hook up authentik via the ldap auth plugin. so for my users, I can text them a link, they set up their credentials and verify their email, then they can sign in to jellyfin with the same creds and it automatically creates a profile and everything.
