Access NFS Share - MutzelBruzzel - 2024-01-29

Hi folks,

I'm trying to access a NFS share in my dockered jellyfin (Running on Unraid).
The automount from Unraid is not working due to permissions (jellyfin seems to change permissions due the scanning process?!), therefore I tried to access the share directly from the webinterface.

What I did:
- Go to 'Administration - Library'
- Add a new Library
- Provide the path: \\IPofNAS\

Error: It seems that jellyfin is not able to access the share.

What did I do wrong?

Have my thanks.

Jellyfin runs as a single user once it starts. You can specify in the docker config what user to run as. Whatever user owns the NFS share is the user Jellyfin should run as. Mount the NFS share as a volume in the container. It is much more reliable to let the operating system handle network shares.

What TDP said. Mount your NFS shares in the OS, squash the user if you have to using anonuid and anongid. Works perfectly.
