sshfs mount does not work with Jellyfin - Tron0070 - 2023-12-18

Hi guys, I recently got a fresh root server and wanted to mount a storage folder via sshfs. The folder has been mounted, but Jellyfin can't find the folder when I want to specify it as a library. Jellyfin simply closes the window.

Does anyone know what I can do so that I can assign folders to the library that are mounted with sshfs?

Thank you

Code:
Jellyfin: Version: 10.8.13

Kernel: x86_64 Linux 5.15.0-91-generic

OS: Ubuntu 22.04

AMD EPYC 7702

8 GB DDR4 RAM (ECC)

4 dedicated cores

160 GB SSD

Code:
root@v220231274841249262:~# cat /etc/fuse.conf

# The file /etc/fuse.conf allows for the following parameters:

#

# user_allow_other - Using the allow_other mount option works fine as root, in

# order to have it work as user you need user_allow_other in /etc/fuse.conf as

# well. (This option allows users to use the allow_other option.) You need

# allow_other if you want users other than the owner to access a mounted fuse.

# This option must appear on a line by itself. There is no value, just the

# presence of the option.

user_allow_other

# mount_max = n - this option sets the maximum number of mounts.

# Currently (2014) it must be typed exactly as shown

# (with a single space before and after the equals sign).

#mount_max = 1000

Hey,

What do you mean by "Jellyfin simply closes the window."?

Hi Venso, thank you for your help.

I click on "Add Media Library" then on the plus for "add Folders" (001.jpg). Then I select the folder. When the folder in which the directory is mounted is reached (002.jpg), the "Select Path" window appears again (003.jpg).

OK lets go though that together.

Step 1:
Click the plus

Step 2:
Navigate down and click on the folder you want to enter until you see the insides of the folder you want to add.
In this example i want to add /media/Comics/Deutsch

Step 3:
Click on "Ok"
The new folder should now be visible in the list of folder.

Step 4:
Click on OK to close the dialog.

I don't even get that far. Before I reach the folder, "Select Path" (003.jpg) appears again
I have created a test account. This is hosted by Hetzner. Maybe you can use it for testing to find out what the problem is.

Code:
sshfs -p23 u123456-sub6@u123456.your-storagebox.de:/home /choose/your/path/

Passwort: ***************

The account will be deleted later.

And the first hackers are already inside Smiling-face

RE: sshfs mount does not work with Jellyfin - Venson - 2023-12-18

did you add some symlinks?

Cannot test that rn as i am not on my dev pc.

RE: sshfs mount does not work with Jellyfin - Tron0070 - 2023-12-18

There are no symlinks.
I'll leave the test account open for a while and watch the hackers

OK. It now works with the two options "-o allow_other,default_permissions"

Code:
sshfs -o allow_other,default_permissions username@server:/home /choose/your/path/

Thanks again @Venson
