Backup Fails with No Tables Error

[ShVerni]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a mistake I've made, so I thought I'd check here first before making a bug report:

Describe the bug
Backups fail with error

Environment Details (please complete the following information):

• Docker image ghcr.io/cyfershepard/jellystat:unstable
• OS: Ubuntu Server 24.04
• Browser: Firefox
• Jellystat Version: 1.1.7 unstable
• Postgres version: Docker image with tag postgres:17

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start manual or scheduled backup
2. See error in logs

Additional context
Jellystat seems to work fine recording stats in database without issue. However, attempting to run a backup results in the above error. I was on v1.1.6 and there were still no backups made (and no logs until I upgraded to v1.1.7 unstable).

I've checked out similar errors here: #393

But the error seen there is different than the one I'm seeing, which seems bizarre since the database definitely exist and definitely has tables that Jellystat is writing to. Is there something I've misconfigured? I'm reluctant to wipe my database container and start over without a backup for obvious reasons.

Any help is appreciated!

I've solved the issue, I think. It had to do with the fact I removed the Playback Reporting plugin from Jellyfin, and the option to backup that data is enabled by default in the backup settings. Disabling that option, or reinstalling the plugin and importing the data to create the appropriate tables, seems to fix this. There should probably be a better way of handling not having that plugin installed, but at least there's a solution.
