Jellyfin "error"

most likely harmless, but nonethless silly to have it constantly there in journal after every reboot:
systemd-tmpfiles[1023]: "/var/log/jellyfin" already exists and is not a directory.

no idea, what triggers it, but please remove.

May be jellyfin is trying to write a log in /var/log/jellyfin/ folder but can’t because you already have a /var/log/jellyfin file. Try:

ls -l /var/log/jellyfin

And see if is a file or a folder.

it is a link. to a folder with logs. why does it try to make the logs folder link into a temp file I have no idea.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 mai   31  2023 /var/log/jellyfin -> /var/lib/jellyfin/log

Nvm. Removed the link and after reboot, it recreated the /var/log/jellyfin folder and put the first log file in there with todays date. No more error in journal. Must have been some leftover link from older jellyfin version.
