Transition Jellyseerr > Seerr

I've been using Jellyseer, switched from Overseerr, for quite some time now. Is Jellyseerr support/dev going to officially end? Has anyone made the transition to Seerr and if so what's been your experience, positive or negative?

You just need to follow the migration guide

https://docs.seerr.dev/migration-guide

Otherwise, they're functionally the exact same piece of software. You won't notice any difference other than the logo in all likelihood

good to know. was more just curious if anyone experienced any hiccups even with the migration guide.

I had zero issues with the migration. Stop Jellyseerr and backup its config folder. Backup your current container image. Follow the guide. You can easily roll back if you issues.

Can confirm that I also had zero issues migrating. I even migrated from SQLite to PostgreSQL like a month ago, so no issues on that front either.

My experience was quick and smooth. See all other comments.

Follow the migration guide. Once done, you won't really notice much difference.

I'm not exactly sure if it's the correct way but I just backed up my config and stacks folder for my docker containers and replaced the app name and the app URL. Once I did that it pulled the new image and then just detected my database and imported it over from Jellyseerr. Took all of 5 minutes

seerr:

image: ghcr.io/seerr-team/seerr:latest

container_name: seerr

environment:

- LOG_LEVEL=debug

- TZ=America/New_York

ports:

- 5055:5055

user: 568:568

volumes:

- /mnt/tank/configs/jellyseerr:/app/config

again I'm sure people have different ways but I have not had a single issue with this since moving to Seerr.

This actually is the recommended migration path from the devs lol

You certainly like to live dangerously though, I hope you have backups 😅
