Hello guys so I installed jellyfin on termux. It ran fine few hours ago. I turned it off and got running few times. Now when I’m trying to start jellyfin I’m getting this error
You must install .NET to run this application.
App: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/jellyfin/jellyfin
Architecture: arm64 App host version: 9.0.18
.NET location: Not found

Download the .NET runtime:

Failed to resolve libhostfxr.so [not found]. Error code: 0x80008083
Any suggestion to fix it ?
the fact that you say it was running fine then suddenly you’re seeing that error is interesting. we’re there any package updates done? maybe jellyfin got bumped to a new version of .NET runtime and whatever package manager you’re using didn’t install the dependency for you? you’ll either need to install .NET 9 or figure out why the runtime can’t be located
docker would take dependency management out of the equation, but termux wouldn’t handle it well i don’t think
While we are here, why not use docker? If you trouble shoot your way into getting docker running, then everything will work automatically.
I thought about udocker for termux. I went with plain old ftp :)
Through termux? You’re running this on an android phone? I didn’t know you could do that. What process did you follow? What happens if you rerun the installation process?
You can just install it with pkg in jellyfin-server. I actually run a lot of stuff on termux. Like Forgejo, syncthing, Readeck, TOR as dns resolver
But i dont want to set it up again
I don’t know all that much about jellyfins runtime on android in general, but if it depends on dotnet could you try running
dotnet —infoIf that returns nothing or outdated packages, you could probably install or update them with something along the lines of:
pkg updateapt install --reinstall \ dotnet-hostfxr-9.0 \ dotnet-runtime-9.0 \ aspnetcore-runtime-9.0 \ dotnet-host
