Jellyfin isn’t meant to be some highly available distributed system, so of course this happens when you try to operate it like one. The typical user is not someone trying to run it via K8s.

Yeah, I agree, though making software that can run in a distributed configuration is a matter of following a few basic principles, and would be far less work than what the developers have spent chasing down trying to make SQLite work for their application.

The effort required to put an application on Kubernetes is a pretty good indicator of software quality. In other words, I can have a pretty good idea about how difficult a software is to maintain in a single-instance configuration by trying to port it to Kubernetes.
