Podman issue, viewing logs, need help mounting drive. - byron8899 - 2025-08-10

Hi,  I just joined the jellyfin forum.
I am currently following the guide on how to run Jellyfin in systemd in podman.
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/container/?method=podman

If I do the podman run, it's fine, but I shutdown my server during nighttime, so I want to put jellyfin in systemd.  

The part I got stuck is to be able to mount in quadlets.

Code:
[Unit]
Description=jellyfin

[Container]
Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
AutoUpdate=registry
PublishPort=8096:8096/tcp
UserNS=keep-id
#SecurityLabelDisable=true # Only needed for older versions of container-selinux < 2.226
AddDevice=/dev/dri/:/dev/dri/
Volume=jellyfin-config:/config:Z
Volume=jellyfin-cache:/cache:Z
Volume=/media/FastHD:/home/jellyfin/test:ro,z  (<---- this is the part I got stuck and can't figure out what when wrong)
[Service]
# Inform systemd of additional exit status
SuccessExitStatus=0 143

[Install]
# Start by default on boot
WantedBy=default.target



When I run those commands


systemctl --user daemon-reload

systemctl --user start jellyfin

I got this error,

[jellyfin@example ~]$ systemctl --user start jellyfin
Job for jellyfin.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl --user status jellyfin.service" and "journalctl --user -xeu jellyfin.service" for details.
[jellyfin@example ~]$

I then tried to run  journalctl --user -xeu jellyfin.service, but because jellyfin is in rootless container, I can't figure out how to run it in machinectl.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
