The video uses quadlets, which afaik, is just using systemd units to run containers via podman. Therefore, you can just run
podman stop jellyfin (podman ps to get the actual name of the jellyfin container)
podman rm jellyfin
podman pull docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
systemctl restart jellyfin.container (or whatever you called your unit when you set it up)
Quick google says you can setup auto updates if you want: https://major.io/p/podman-quadlet-automatic-updates/
Caveat: I am a docker compose user, I may have missed something due to lack of familiarity with quadlets/podman
You're correct.
The only time I can think of that this approach wouldn't work is if the quadlet config file specified a tag/version on the
imagesetting besideslatest. That is, if the quadlet file specified something likeImage=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:a_old_version. I usually stick withlateston mine.EG:
Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latestIt worked! Thanks so much!
I suppose I'll start looking into docker/containers/quadlets etc, so I actually understand what I am using lol
