    Notes / Gotchas

      Tautulli's database (tautulli.db) contains full play history. Back it up before upgrades. Notification agents (Telegram, email, etc.) and their credentials are stored in the Tautulli database. If the /config bind mount is lost, all notification integrations must be reconfigured.
