Podman container fails to start - Cutter - 2025-05-02
Hello,
I'm trying to run JF in a rootless podman container run as a systemd service.
The systemd .container file is here: https://pastebin.com/kXnpKvMY
The container fails at startup with the following errors:
Code:

Code:
sudo -R chmod ugo-x,ugo+X /var/lib/jellyfinWhere to find the /jellyfin/jellyfin dir inside the container to fix the permissions ? It does not exist at this location on the host.
RE: Podman container fails to start because of lack of authorizations - Cutter - 2025-05-03
I removed the image, forcing it to redownload a new one. Jellyfin starts again. I disabled AutoUpdates for now. I would like to check that the /jellyfin/jellyfin dir is executable before enabling AutoUpdates.
