I haven’t run Jellyfin outside of docker in ages, but looks like you have at least one set of conflicting tags in your exec section of that service file you posted (web something or other I can’t see on mobile once starting this reply - you have a flat setting it and a flag disabling it).

Edit - also do you actually have something set for that list of variables in your exec?

The easiest way I’ve found is to install CasaOS on Ubuntu. It has a web interface with an app store. Click install and it’s basically done.

I’m guessing you installed from Flatpak and it doesn’t have the permissions to touch what it needs to outside of the sandbox.

Install plainly, or run a container with the proper permissions.

Learn a docker compose deploy. It’s a knowledge that pays off for services other than jellyfin too.

Maybe a docker install would be easier… something like this might help

I highly recommend taking the time to learn docker instead of running directly.

How did you install jellyfin?

It should not core-dump (read: hard crash, something has gone terribly wrong), at best you should get a configuration error and errors like that.

You can see the logs of any systemd service/unit with this: journalctl -u <name of sevice> so in this case journalctl -u jellyfin (Tip: add -f to follow the output of a running service - useful for monitoring).

Note that some programs log to their own files (and not to stdout) so if the above command comes out empty you should look into /var/log/ directory.
