- Use InsertData for placeholder BaseItems row (no raw SQL)
- Remove obsolete/Windows publish profiles; set Linux as default
- Add detailed migration success and verification reports (Markdown)
- Add idempotent, production-ready SQL migration scripts
- Add PowerShell script for automated migration verification
- Ensures robust, production-ready PostgreSQL migration and documentation
Expanded .gitignore to cover more build artifacts. Updated publish profiles to use "Windows Deployment (Bridge)" and changed publish URLs to "Jellyfin-win". Cleaned up old profile user files and added new Windows deployment profiles. Adjusted test project references to exclude runtime assets and prevent copying.
Changed publish profile path to E: drive and updated publish history. Switched JELLYFIN_WEB_DIR from absolute to relative path ("webroot") in launchSettings.json for improved portability and consistency across environments.
Introduces automatic creation of a self-documenting startup.json file on first startup, with example path configurations for Linux, Windows, and portable setups. Adds preset database configurations to database.xml for easy switching between SQLite and PostgreSQL. Refactors database config classes for XML serialization compatibility and ensures database.xml is never empty. Comprehensive documentation and migration guides included.
Added support for configuring all major Jellyfin paths (data, config, cache, log, temp, web) via a `startup.json` file, with priority after CLI and environment variables. Introduced a new `TempDir` option, configurable through CLI, env var, or config file, with backward-compatible defaults. Refactored path resolution logic to integrate file-based config and ensure directory creation. Updated constructors and CLI options to support temp directory. Improved EF Core migration error handling and logging. Added comprehensive documentation and example config files. All changes are backward compatible.
Added README section describing the web client directory (`wwwroot`) and its configuration options. No code logic changes; only environment and documentation updates.
Introduced backup/restore via external pg_dump/pg_restore tools, configurable in database.xml. Added DatabaseBackupOptions, PostgresBackupService, and example/config docs. Backup features are enabled only for local databases; remote DBs require manual management. Logging and documentation clarify external tool usage, error handling, and security. Updated provider logic and assembly files accordingly.
Refactored user initialization to always ensure at least one user exists at startup. If no users are present, a default admin user (admin/jellyfin) is created automatically. Updated StartupController endpoints to handle cases where no user exists. Simplified UserManager.InitializeAsync logic. Added HomeSectionConfiguration for EF Core entity mapping. Includes minor project and assembly info updates.
Add logic to initialize at least one user if the startup wizard is not completed, both during application startup and in the startup user API. After user creation, reload the user entity with all related navigation properties to ensure the in-memory user object is fully populated. Also update build and publish metadata files.
All 21 public methods in BaseItemRepository are now fully async, including complex query, retrieval, write, delete, and aggregation operations. Added async signatures to IItemRepository and ILibraryManager with cancellation token support and ConfigureAwait(false). Sync wrappers retained for backward compatibility. Final conversion of GetLatestItemList and GetNextUpSeriesKeys completes Phase 3A. All bulk operations and aggregations are async, enabling concurrent dashboard loading and full PostgreSQL multiplexing. Migration routines fixed for Npgsql "command in progress" errors. Extensive documentation added for conversion process, performance, and testing. Project is now production-ready with zero build errors and 100% backward compatibility.
- Refactor migrations and provider to use multiple PostgreSQL schemas, each matching a legacy SQLite database (activitylog, authentication, displaypreferences, library, users).
- All tables, foreign keys, and indexes are now schema-qualified; Down migration drops tables by schema.
- Provider ensures schemas exist before migrations; entities are mapped to correct schemas in OnModelCreating.
- Add support for max-pool-size, min-pool-size, and multiplexing connection options; update logging accordingly.
- VACUUM ANALYZE now runs per schema during scheduled optimization.
- TruncateAllTablesAsync now truncates tables with schema qualification.
- README updated with schema structure, new options, and multiplexing warnings.
- CacheDecorator now calls async repository methods using .GetAwaiter().GetResult(), with documentation.
- Lays groundwork for full async/await and multiplexing support in the database layer.
Removed all references to the Jellyfin.CodeAnalysis project and related analyzer NuGet packages (IDisposableAnalyzers, SerilogAnalyzer, SmartAnalyzers.MultithreadingAnalyzer, StyleCop.Analyzers, Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.BannedApiAnalyzers) from test projects and their dependency graphs. Updated .dgspec.json, project.assets.json, and project.nuget.cache files accordingly. Also updated warningProperties to explicitly set warning behaviors. This streamlines the dependency tree and removes static analysis tooling from the test build process.
- Added Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Postgres project with full EF Core migration support for PostgreSQL.
- Implemented automatic database creation and privilege assignment on startup.
- Generated initial migration and model snapshot for PostgreSQL schema.
- Updated build, test, and dependency files to include PostgreSQL provider and Npgsql packages.
- Added PowerShell script for generating and testing PostgreSQL migrations.
- No changes to application logic outside database provider/migration infrastructure.
- Add JELLYFIN_WEB_DIR environment variable to launch profiles and test project for consistent web directory configuration.
- Conditionally add AssemblyMetadata for ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT and JELLYFIN_WEB_DIR in DEBUG builds.
- Update FolderProfile.pubxml to delete existing files on publish and set additional properties (TargetFramework, ProjectGuid, etc.).
- Bump Jellyfin.CodeAnalysis assembly version and update related binaries.
- Refresh publish history in FolderProfile.pubxml.user.
Added Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Postgres project and integrated Npgsql packages for PostgreSQL support. Updated solution and test project references. Refactored code for clarity and performance, including improved string handling, log formatting, and plugin management. Enhanced .editorconfig rules and fixed minor test issues. Added publishing profiles and updated web server setup references. Cleaned up assembly info and cache files.
Now able to successfully build solution
