Container Jellyfin stopped unexpectedly - PCDHOMEJELLY - 2025-11-28
Hi.
Having got entirely p****d off with Plex, I installed Jellyfin on my Synology NAS running DSM 7.2.
I followed the guide from Wundertech How to Set Up Jellyfin on a Synology NAS - WunderTech
The guide set up the jellyfin container with a yml.
I created the yml with these lines
version: '3.5'
services:
jellyfin:
image: jellyfin/jellyfin
container_name: jellyfin
network_mode: 'host'
volumes:
- /volume1/docker/jellyfin/config:/config
- /volume1/docker/jellyfin/cache:/cache
- /volume1/Films:/Films
- /volume1/TV-Series:/TV-Series
restart: 'unless-stopped'
environment:
- TZ='America/Detroit'
As you can see, I have two media paths.
I created the container but when it is started it immediately stops with error message 'container jellyfin stopped unexpectedly'
This happens each time I start jellyfin.
I was hoping to use Jellyfin to stream to my Nvidia Shield.
I'm sure it is an error on my part, but I can't track it down. Any help would be much appreciated.
If any more information is needed, i'm happy to attempt to find it :-)
I attach settings-jellyfin.json and log-jellyfin.json and a screenshot of my file structure.
Thanks in advance.
