RE: Problem start jellybin - TheDreadPirate - 2025-04-11
The Jellyfin server starts automatically when the server boots. There will not be an icon. If you used all the commands I specified, you should be able to access Jellyfin through your browser.
http://192.168.1.3:8096
Replace the IP address with your server's actual IP. But add :8096 to the end to use Jellyfin's port.

Ok. And there is a way to have the icon? It is more immediate for me for start jellyfin.
RE: Problem start jellybin - TheDreadPirate - 2025-04-11
Jellyfin, the server, will always start when the server boots. If you want an icon to access Jellyfin in your browser, you will have to manually create a shortcut with your server's URL.

Oh, ok. Perfect. When i return at home i try if all works correctly. Thanks a lot for your help.
RE: Problem start jellybin - Paro89 - 2025-04-11
It works, but i have another problem: it doesn't see the folder where i have the files. If i search it with "File" app i can see all my files, but Jellyfin doesn't see the folders.
RE: Problem start jellybin - TheDreadPirate - 2025-04-11
Where are the files located and does the Jellyfin user have permission to read the file and folders?
RE: Problem start jellybin - Paro89 - 2025-04-11
The files are located in external HDD in Media Folder. i don't know if Jellybin have permission. It doesn't see the external HDD. Media Folder is empty in Jellybin.

Sorry, my mistake..
RE: Problem start jellybin - TheDreadPirate - 2025-04-11
From the sound of things, you are new to Linux.
What is happening is that the mechanism that automatically mounts external hard drives applies access restrictions to that external drive so that only your user can access it. Jellyfin runs as a separate user (jellyfin) and does not have access to your external drive.
You have a couple of options:
1) Remove the restriction
2) Manually mount the external hard drive
Since you are new to Linux, option 1 is probably best.
Use this command. You will need to replace the path in the command to the folder that your external drive is mounted to.
Code:
sudo setfacl -b -R /media/<your user name>/<drive name>
