-An Unraid Docker template is available. See [this documentation page](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/blob/master/unRaid/docker-templates/README.md) for details on installing it.
+The following procedure should work to upgrade from Emby to Jellyfin on an existing installation:
+
+0. Upgrade to Emby 3.5.X, preferably 3.5.2, so the database schema is fully up-to-date and consistent. This is somewhat optional but can reduce the risk of obscure bugs later on.
+0. Stop the `emby-server` daemon:
+    ```
+    sudo service emby-server stop
+    ```
+0. Move your existing Emby data directory out of the way:
+    ```
+    sudo mv /var/lib/emby /var/lib/emby.backup
+    ```
+0. Remove the `emby-server` package:
+    ```
+    sudo apt remove emby-server
+    ```
+0. Install the `jellyfin` package using the instructions above, verifying that `/var/lib/emby` is a symlink to `/var/lib/jellyfin`.
+0. Stop the `jellyfin` daemon:
+    ```
+    sudo service jellyfin stop
+    ```
+0. Copy over all the data files from the old backup data directory:
+    ```
+    sudo cp -a /var/lib/emby.backup/* /var/lib/jellyfin/
+    ```
+0. Correct ownership on the new data directory:
+    ```
+    sudo chown -R jellyfin:jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin
+    ```
+0. Start the `jellyfin` daemon:
+    ```
+    sudo service jellyfin start
+    ```
+
+This same general procedure should apply for upgrades on any other platform as well though the specific commands and/or paths may be different.
