RPi Docker Install Fails - cokrojelly - 2023-12-12

I suspect this is more of a Docker issue than Jellyfin issue, but thought I'd share in case anyone bumped into the same thing. 

When installing Jellyfin on a freshly updated RPi 4 with Docker (Following the Container Install Guide https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/container/) the install fails. Using the command line interface returns "docker bash command not found --volume" and "docker bash command not found --mount" 

As a total newb, I presume I missed something simple that just isn't include in the guide. But I was able to successfully install using the Docker-Compose.yml instructions, so at least I know I can follow directions. 

If anyone feels like pointing a Pi/JF/Docker newb in the right direction, that would be great. Not sure who to contact re: updating the container install instructions.

If you got it running with Docker-Compose, just go with that? Docker-Compose is just a wrapper that takes the yaml properties and translates them to plain docker command parameters.

... did you copy the comments after the \ lines where the # are ? ...

btw rpi shouldnt be used for jellyfin server if you want transcoding

yep. i'm just trying to learn. No intention of running this as my main server just yet. But I'm ready to move on from Plex and wanted to mess with an RPi and work on my command line and docker skills. 

also, I lied. I don't think the docker-compose install worked either. I've got it up and running in Portainer, which is sort of like cheating, I guess. 

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm stubborn and am trying to learn RPi and Docker, so I want to get try and get it working each way. And I also think I lied. I've got it running in Portainer, but not with the docker command line yet. 

Working on permissions issues right now. Jelly is up and running, but not seeing into my mounted media folder. I changed the permissions to 777 on the mount (/home/jellytest/jellymedia).  So I have some things to learn about how everything communicates from within the container to outside. But thats a different thread in a different forum. 

btw, I did a bunch of searching in the forum, and stumbled across one of your posts for nearly everything I was looking for. Thanks for your help, and for helping all the news in the community.
