    I have it on docker with two volumes, ./config and ./cache

    I back up those before each update.

    A bad Jellyfin update should not mess with your media folder in anyway. Though you should have backups of those aswell as a rule of thumb.

      With respect to the media, you can mount the volume as read only, preventing Jellyfin from accidentally wiping your underlying content.

        or just change the folder ownership to whatever user you use in the container, but don’t give them write access. that’s how I do it so I can still edit my media as root.
