Jelllyfin stuck at "Deploying"

Apps and Virtualization
1

As the title says, I am trying to setup Jellyfin, but seems to be stuck “Deploying”.

This is a container available from the list, not a “custom app”.

According to the logs, /cache/transcodes

2025-03-10 00:13:10.149698+00:00[17:13:10] [ERR] [8] Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.TaskManager: Error executing Scheduled Task

App Version:
1.10.6
Version:
1.1.20
Source:
hub.docker.com/r/jellyfin/jellyfin, jellyfin.org

Troubleshooting steps:

  • Rolling back to an older version (when I could)
  • Deleting the container & starting from scratch (lost my ability to roll back to an older version in doing so)

OS Version: TrueNAS-SCALE-24.10.2

The ACL Entries for all of my Host Paths are the same. Though, it looks like /cache/transcodes is the [internal] mount path inside the container…

My experience with containers is somewhat limited, so any advice on what I am doing wrong, and how to fix it will be much appreciated.

Update: Removing the Enable ACL option, & adding user & group 568 to the relevant dataset permissions (and set to Full Control), seems to have cleared up the “Permission Denied” error in the logs. However, it is still stuck at deploying.

What are the logs showing now?

Is /cache/transcodes binding to another path? Does the 568 user have permissions to the path it’s binding to?

Nothing in the logs stands out (to me) on why it’s hanging.

I do see lines 36, 37, 39, & 41 make reference to Microsoft AspNetCore, which I find odd. Other than that, nothing is jumping out at me as to why it is hanging.

@Jorsher The update in my last post had already fixed the permission issue in the logs.

Now I’m stumped. The logs says the Core & Main startups are complete, yet still cannot access the WebUI.

I was hoping the latest update to Jellyfin would fix the issue. No dice.

I was successfully able to create 2 other containers, & connect to the WebUI.

I also tried rebooting my TrueNAS server itself.

Does it need to scrape the metadata before it starts up for the first time?

If so, that could explain why it appears to be stuck (I’m just spitballing ideas & see what sticks). If not, then I must be missing something in the logs.

any advice or suggestions is very welcome.
