OMV6 Docker Jellyfin cannot find media folders - 2d2 - 2024-02-12
Hi, I am using Jellyfin in a docker container on OpenMediaVault 6, and cannot for the life of me get Jellyfin to see my media folder.
I am very new to linux/NAS/etc so may be missing something obvious.
I'm using a laptop to log into the OMV6 web interface, add Jellyfin from the example for it, and then in that same laptop's web browser navigating to the jellyfin port. I read that I should only need to put in the folder, not the network, is that true? In any case, whatever permission jellyfin needs to see the "media2" folder I am using for movies and tv shows, seems to be missing. Any ideas? Happy to provide any more necessary context. Thanks for helping a noob out :)

ignore OMV6*, it has nothing useful pertaining to Docker+Jellyfin
you need to mount volumes to your jellyfin docker container, instructions can be found https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-jellyfin
since you are new, i would recommend using Portainer to manage Docker instead of CLI https://docs.portainer.io/start/install-ce/server/docker/linux

Okay, I think my main issue is in the mounting - I don't understand exactly what it's supposed to look like under volumes in the docker compose.
I've tried a few different things, most recently copying in the example that was in the link you posted: volumes:
- /path/to/library:/config
- /path/to/tvseries:/data/tvshows
- /path/to/movies:/data/movies
but this still does not allow jellyfin to find the folder.
what would you need to see of my OMV6 folder structure to know exactly what that section should look like?
Thanks for your response! :)

fp*
did you honestly copy "/path/to/movies:/data/movies"?
this is a mapping delimited by ":", /path/to/movies would be the actual path on your host, where your drive is mounted
/mnt/mydrive/Movies
the second is the path within the container, /data/movies is fine and this will be what you select in jellyfin when setting up a library
