Migrate from Jellyseerr or Overseerr
Option 1: Migrate Before Installing Seerr (Recommended)
This is the cleanest approach. Copy your existing application data before installing Seerr, so the folder does not already exist.
- Copy your existing application data to the Seerr directory. Run the appropriate command for your previous application:
- From Jellyseerr:
- From Overseerr:
- Install Seerr via the Installers tab in the User Control Panel.
- Open Seerr from the Apps tab. Your previous settings and data should be intact.
cp -r ~/.apps/jellyseerr ~/.apps/seerrcp -r ~/.apps/overseerr ~/.apps/seerrOption 2: Migrate After Installing Seerr
If you have already installed Seerr, the ~/.apps/seerr folder will already exist. In this case, copying with the commands above will place the source folder inside ~/.apps/seerr (e.g. ~/.apps/seerr/jellyseerr/) instead of merging its contents. To avoid this, use a trailing /* to copy the contents of the folder instead.
- Stop Seerr by running the following command:
app-seerr stop- Copy the contents of your existing application data into the Seerr directory:
- From Jellyseerr:
- From Overseerr:
- Restart Seerr by running:
cp -r ~/.apps/jellyseerr/* ~/.apps/seerr/cp -r ~/.apps/overseerr/* ~/.apps/seerr/app-seerr restart- Open Seerr from the Apps tab in the User Control Panel. Your previous settings and data should be intact.
