I enjoy working on selfhosted items and Jellyfin is in the mix. As with many software there are updates to them. Jellyfin seems to not have a great way to check for updates and install automatically. However, you can use the built-in API to help with that.
I just have it installed in a native Ubuntu instance "on the metal" and it seems to be updated pretty frequently from there. I don't think I installed it via PPK either. Just Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with jellyfin from apt installed and I'm on 10.8.10 from apt upgrade.
your method is great. another way to think about updating software like this would be in the docker container version. you can use watchtower to update them automatically. I personally use docker and this method for updates
@Shortcake thanks! I use docker on another server for Nextcloud and MineTest wrote about the too. I started using Jellyfin before I got docker up and running. It was a neat use of the API I thought for my use case between Jellyfin and github.
