Container shuts down if it can't relabel a subdirectory - Cutter - 2025-05-08
Hi,
Jellyfin runs on Fedora 41 in a rootless podman container managed by systemd.
The container is configured to relabel the media dir. Jellyfin runs as its own user.
Problem: if another process moves a directory not owned by jellyfin into the media directory, Jellyfin fails to relabel it on startup and the container shuts down. Seems a bit harsh, no ?
How should this scenario be managed ? I don't want to give ownership of the media dir to jellyfin. I've set its group to jellyfin but it's not enough. Should i give up relabeling ?
This is my .container file:
