Hello,
I’ve noticed that Jellyfin doesn’t start automatically when I boot ZimaOS. The icon is dimmed in the app drawer. When I try to launch the app, I first get a message saying it’s starting. A little later, the app actually starts. But to get the Jellyfin server running, I always have to start it manually this way. Does anyone have a solution for this?
I’m using OS version 1.6.1
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yeah I’ve seen this a bit on 1.6.1, usually not Jellyfin itself, just the container not coming up cleanly at boot.
The fact it starts fine when you click it is a good sign. It basically means everything works, it’s just missing that auto-start moment.
Most common cause is timing, especially if your media is on a mounted drive. Zima boots, Docker tries to start Jellyfin, but the storage isn’t ready yet, so it fails quietly and sits dimmed. When you launch it manually later, everything’s already mounted so it works.
Just need to confirm what it’s doing right after a reboot (whether it’s stopped or failed), then you can decide if it’s a restart policy thing or a mount timing issue
