Jellyfin container cannot install plugin if the config folder ownership isnt right - tamashika - 2023-12-31
I want to run jellyfin on my pi4, and I want the config folder locate in an external ntfs drive, which is owned by www-data. All folder and contents are set as 777 at boot already, but I noticed if the config folder is not owned by the user, I will have permission error when installing plugin. Is there a way to let jellyfin bypass the checking ownership step before installing plugin?

The problem is that the drive is using NTFS so setting it to 777 doesn't really work the same.
The workaround is to manually install the plugin.

That's unfortunate.
I thought there would be a config file where I could turn off this permission bit like I did to nextcloud.
Thanks.
