Okay, so, the best way I thought to accomplish this was to remove the docker Jellyfin container and completely rebuild it with a docker compose file. It seems to have worked. Portainer is showing a container named Jellyfin with the correct config and cache paths, but now, I cannot reach Jellyfin on my local network. Here is the docker compose file:

Code:
services:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin
    container_name: jellyfin
    user: 1000:1000
    network_mode: 'host'
    volumes:
      - /config:/config
      - /cache:/cache
      - type: bind
        source: /media/danielle/library/Movies
        target: /Movies
      - type: bind
        source: /media/danielle/library/Shows
        target: /Shows
        read_only: true
    restart: 'unless-stopped'

But https://jellyfin.local and the address of my server with port 8096 gives me "This site can't be reached". Do I need to change the network_mode in the docker-compose.yml to the port? In the past, I know that worked, but I'm not sure why.

Can you share your jellyfin log via pastebin?

/config/log/lo20241214.log

I also recommend against bind mounts. Mainly because they sometimes cause issues.

Change this

Code:
- type: bind
        source: /media/danielle/library/Movies
        target: /Movies
      - type: bind
        source: /media/danielle/library/Shows
        target: /Shows
        read_only: true

To this

Code:
- /media/danielle/library/Movies:/Movies:ro
      - /media/danielle/library/Shows:/Shows:ro

      - /media/danielle/library/Shows:/Shows:ro

So, that log doesn't seem to exist. /config appears to be empty. When I start jellyfin and look at the logs on portainer, I keep seeing this repeated:

Code:
Unhandled exception. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/config/log' is denied.

It's pretty clear what the issue is. Recursively chown /config so that your user owns it and all sub-directories.

Okay, I chown'd the directory and restarted Jellyfin. Still nothing in the config directory, and here is what the logs on Portainer are saying: https://pastebin.com/L1sFtL7N

Now, Jellyfin is accessible at the IP address and port that it had, before. Should I be concerned that the config directory is still empty?

RE: Library Disappears - TheDreadPirate - 2024-12-15

Is portainer using the docker compose you provided? Or the config you put in the portainer UI?

The docker compose.
