🚀 Jellyfin Server 10.11.7
We are pleased to announce the latest stable release of Jellyfin, version 10.11.7! This minor release brings several bugfixes to improve your Jellyfin experience. As alway...
Is it standard practice to release the security updates on GitHub?
I am a very amateur self hoster and wouldn’t go on the github of projects on my own unless I wanted to read the “read me” for install instructions.
I am realizing that I got aware I needed to update my Jellyfin container ASAP only thanks to this post. I would have never checked the GitHub.
I don’t run the arr stack, but this is key. You really should do your due diligence before you update anything. Personally, I wait unless it’s a security issue, and use all the early adopters as beta testers.
Depending on how you install things, the package maintainers usually deal with this, so your next apt update / pacman -Syuv or … whatever Fedora does…
would capture it.
If you’ve installed this as a container… dunno… whatever the container update process is (I don’t use them)

Yes.
And then the maintainers of the package on the package repository you use will release the patch there. Completely standard operation.
I recommend younto read up on package repositories on Linux and package maintainers etc.

Not really.

I indeed use a container. Wasn’t familiar with the update process for containers but now know how to do it.
