Umbrel Setup External Drives - twitchswitch - 2025-04-09

I've been running Jellyfin for a few weeks on my Umbrel until the last Jellyfin update (10.10.7).
It was tricky because I had to set up the Umbrel to direct it to the external hard drives.
But since the latest Jellyfin update it seems I lost it all, the libraries cannot find the drives.

I really struggled to do it last time with a guide (Grok). 
Can anyone help me to reconnect them?

I'm not familiar with Umbrel. Does it provide any command line access? Or is everything done in their UI? When you installed Jellyfin, was it through their "app store"?

Yes correct, it's through their app store. I had to do Linux command terminal stuff to get it to work last time.

According to Grok:
"You had Jellyfin running in a Docker container on Umbrel (Ubuntu-based), with two external drives.

We mounted it to /mnt/harddrive1 (and harddrive 2) using fstab:
/dev/disk/by-partuuid/(important UUID numbers here) /mnt/harddrive1 auto rw,user,auto 0 0
Updated Jellyfin’s docker-compose.yml to map /mnt/harddrive1Confused-facemedia, restarted the container, and added /media as a library in the UI."

How is your content organized in /mnt/harddrive1 and 2? If you have multiple content types mixed together, and you added /media to multiple files, that is problematic.

Can you share your jellyfin logs via privatebin.net?
