building a server - Gary - 2025-08-07
I'm planning on building a stand alone server machine to host Jellyfin on while storing all my media on a NAS device(s)[i'm planning on using the Ugreen DXP8800]. I'm planning on installing an Ubuntu server to host jellyfin on. Will provide specs if needed. My question is how do I go about accessing the NAS through Ubuntu so the Jellyfin can access the media?
I also have another question, I can post this in a different section to get an answer for this if need be. One thing I have noticed with Jellyfin is that the metadata is not . . . concrete. I will go through and manually identify files or change the picture and a few days later it has changed. Can any one explain to me why Jellyfin does this?
