Hi Team,

It Looks like you used jellyseer 2.7.3 for the release of binhex/arch-seerr. According to the developers of seerr, this will break overseer DBs if they try to migrate. The current develop version of seerr migrates overseerr db, jellyseerr doesn’t.

I used the AUR seerr package here, which largets latest release from the seerr github repo:- https://github.com/seerr-team/seerr/releases

They are using a separate branch. It's still technically the old version

OK so do you know if there is any chance of a release from the develop branch any time soon (assuming that is what you mean by the separate branch)?, if not then i will switch to clone from develop branch until things stabilise.

I unfortunately do not. They are merging code bases, so I imagine they are working out all the kinks

Things seem to be in a state of flux right now, i would not advise moving for now until there is a first release, apparently the current latest release is simply jellyseer (something i was not aware of at the time of creating this image), if i see any movement and a new release is created then i will try and remember to post here to let people know.

Hey mate, seer has just had a stable release now!

I wonder how easy the migration will be?

I tried the following to migrate from binhex-overseerr but it did not migrate....?

cp -r /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-overseerr /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-seerr

chown -R 1000:1000 /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-seerr

It was quite simple, I stopped the binhex-overseerr container. Installed binhex-seerr. Once that finished I stopped the container. In the /user/appdata/ folder for binhex-seerr I deleted all the files. I then copied all the files from binhex-overseerr to the binhex-seerr folder. I renamed the overseerr folder to seerr and changed the owner to nobody. I started the new seerr container and it took a min or so (check logs you can see migration happening) and the service is running.

Thanks binhex for all you do!

Edit: Not sure if changing the owner to nobody is the correct way to do it, if someone can confirm please.

Edited February 15Feb 15 by Afty86

ok I followed your instruction and did not change the owner and it works fine

I can also confirm that simply renaming the overseerr files seems to work flawlessy.

I'm confused.

I have overseerr and jellyseerr.

I installed this and set it up for Plex. Can I also set it up for Jellyfin (at the same time off the same docker)?

Edited February 16Feb 16 by bobalot

For now, I see that whatever you set at the start is what you get. So I don't see any possibility of synchronizing both Plex and Jellyfin.

These instructions worked for me.

Didn't do any owner changes.
Thanks

Thanks for the explantion Afty86. And thanks to binhex as well. Its been long learning experience for me as I am only month or so into the unraid thing.

so having the appdata on the cache not and option anymore?

You can put /config wherever you want, i am storing my config on my cache drive /mnt/cache/appdata/config/seerr

This is so cool. I love it.

Just one observation. I added a TV series with Specials and Seasons 1 - 3. I requested the Specials and Season 1. Instead of the five special episodes and Season 1, I received the first special (not specials 2 through 5) and Season 2.

Any idea what went wrong?

I've been trying to setup tailscale on this for ages, trying every permutation gemini can come up with. I can access it local just fine, but it lands on a white screen with the Tailscale address.

Anyone get this setup? I'd love the sanity to know it's even possible.

Right now, it shows in my tailscale machines list. I'm using tailscale defaults, and "Tailscale Serve: Serve"

I noticed some settings inside the app around proxy, but assume I should not touch those just to get tailscale access.

Feedback:

This container is working great locally, and was easy to setup. I didn't successfully migrate from overseer, but I was happy to just reconfigure. If I had a complaint, it's how long the "[info] Executing usermod for PUID '99'..." task takes since i've had to restart a bunch.

sigh...

correction

Well after reading a bunch of threads and issues regarding migrating data and tailscale let me just ask to clarify

Can we with the current template (19/02/2026) do the following:

copy the Jellyseer app-data to a Seer folder
run this image (pointing to that new seer folder)
get all data properly migrated
run tailscale on it

without having to do the chmod the official documentation for seer mention?

Done. Followed these instructions with the following exceptions:
Tailscale added. Copied the overseer settings when adding the seerr container. When moving files from overseerr to seerr, I only moved the overseerr folder, perms.txt, and supervisord.log (left the .tailscale_state alone).

Thank you all for these forums and all of your help!
