I noticed my home servers SSD running out of space and it ended up being my Jellyfin Docker container which wasn’t clearing the directory for transcodes in /var/lib/jellyfin/transcodes correctly.
I simply created a new directory on my media hard drive and bind mounted the above mentioned directory to it. Now Jellyfin got over 1 TB of free space to theoretically clutter. To prevent this I simply created a cronjob to delete old files in case Jellyfin isn’t.
/usr/bin/find /path/to/transcodes -mtime +1 -delete
Easy!

I transcode to ramdisk.
I have like a dozen people using my Jellyfin and sometimes 3-4 people watch something at the same time which results in a lot of transcoding data. At the moment my transcoding directory (which is cleaned every 24 hours) is almost 8 GB big. I don’t have the RAM to do this.
Starting with 10.9 you can enable segment deletion so files are cleaned up while still transcoding.
Version 10.9 is not even released, right?
Nope, release target is mid-April currently.
Why not write to ram instead?
How much RAM would this consume?
that does not matter you can just download more ram
