Change permission on folders for Jellyfin in Ubuntu - Worldrazor - 2024-02-16
I've been trying to get Jellyfin to access my library, but it won't. I think I have narrowed it down to being a permission issue. I've tried to use the command
chown -R :lxc_shares /mnt/nas but without luck (it dosen't change anything). I have followed this guide (https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/tutorial-unprivileged-lxcs-mount-cifs-shares.101795/) to set up shares in my LXC. So basicly I think I need to change the ownership of the directory to the group where the jellyfin user is, but I don't know how.
The permissions for the folders look like this:
root@jellyfin:~# ls -l /mnt/nas
total 0
drwxrwx--- 2 100000 110000 0 Feb 12 13:48 Downloads
drwxrwx--- 2 100000 110000 0 Feb 11 20:03 Movies
drwxrwx--- 2 100000 110000 0 Jan 26 04:18 TV-Series

With network shares you need to provide a UID and GID in the mount parameters that correspond to the owner of the files on the NAS side.

I'm running it in a Proxmox LXC btw.
It's mounted like this: mp0: /mnt/lxc_shares/nas_rwx/,mp=/mnt/nas which should have rwx permissions
It's mounted on the host like this //111.111.11.111/Jellyfin /mnt/lxc_shares/nas_rwx cifs _netdev,x-systemd.automount,noatime,uid=100000,gid=110000,dir_mode=0770,file_mode=0770,user=pveuser,pass=PASSWORD 0 0
I have created a Group with the id 10000 where the jellyfin user has been added

You can see your library on the command line, but jellyfin won't read it, correct?

If that is the case, I think in the ubuntu you need to chown the library path so that jellyfin owns it or is the group owner and not 10000:11000. Since the mount parameters will translate a lot of that.

I have already tried that with this command: chown -R :lxc_shares /mnt/nas
Also tried changing the group name to ID instead, but it dosen't change the permissions for the folder

What are the permissions on the host system?
RE: Change permission on folders for Jellyfin in Ubuntu - Worldrazor - 2024-02-16
I fixed it! I created a new LXC and made it unprivileged. That apparently made the change
