promox scipt install of ubuntu22.04 - Dixon_StAlbert - 2023-12-13
1.I used github tteck/Proxmox script to get a ubuntu 22.04 Promox VM up and running.
2. I created a user 'dixon' and sshed into server
3. I pasted curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash into my ssh session to install jellyfin
4. I logged into 192.168.0.47:8096 in my desktop browser and went through jellyfin setup, creating a user 'dixon' with same password as my ubuntu user 'dixon' password
5. I created 2 'mixed' jellyfin libraries; one folder is pointed to a virtiodisk mounted and writable by user 'dixon', and also a jellyfin library with path to my '/home/dixon' directory
6. Both libraries appear in 'My Media' screen, but they both are blank when I select them.
I pretty sure this is a permission problem. Do I need to create a linux user or group called jellyfin?
I am proxmox rookie- do I need to port forward or something setting in my node?
I am retired so I guess it doesnt matter that I have been fiddling with this for 2 days, but it sure would be nice to get this working

You kind of said it right there. The virtio disk is "writeable" and, I'm assuming, readable only by dixon. But Jellyfin has its own user. You should not specify a user for the disk mount parameters, remount, and make sure the jellyfin user has read + execute permissions on the folders and read permissions on the files.
And the same applies for your second library in your home directory. You should move that library out of your home directory and create a new folder in the root ( / ) path that Jellyfin owns or has access to. Never give other users access to your home folder. Most people use /media as their library path.
