Missing web directory - pluffmud - 2024-06-02
Installed 'jellyfin-server_10.9.4+deb12_arm64.deb' on my PI4b/bookworm .
When starting the service I get 'The server is expected to host the web client, but the provided content directory is either invalid or empty: /us
r/share/jellyfin/web'
There is no 'jellyfin/web' directory anywhere on the system.
I would prefer to run with the web interfaced disabled but when doing so there seems to be no where to specify the location of my 'content'

add '--nowebclient' command line flag, or set'hostwebclient=false' in your config settings
You can add --nowebclient to the "ExecStart" line in /usr/lib/systemd/system/jellyfin.service (or whereever you store your sysd service files).

I understand how to start it without the web interface enabled but when I do that there is no obvious mechanism to configure the location of my music,videos etc

When I do this
dpkg --contents ./jellyfin-server_10.9.4+deb12_arm64.deb | grep web
I see nothing
RE: Missing web directory - TheDreadPirate - 2024-06-03
Because it doesn't have any web related contents. There is a separate package, jellyfin-web, that has all the web files.
If you want to run Jellyfin without it, you need to do what Fate said and change the service file to add --nowebclient to the execstart paramemters and remove the variable for the jellyfin web path.
