Jellyfin X Synology - Jackson Daniels - 2024-10-13
Hello all. I just got into jellyfin, docker, the whole 9. I have successfully got the docker container running jelly fin, and I have been able to add local folders as libraries to jellyfin. What I have not been able to do is add a new library to jellyfin that points to my synology. Any help is appreciated! Running Ubuntu desktop by the way.

I'm assuming you mounted a network share from your NAS in Ubuntu, correct? If so, how did you mount the share?
RE: Jellyfin X Synology - Jackson Daniels - 2024-10-13
I may have done that incorrectly. It’s currently an SMB share, but I have also added NFS permissions. As to how I “mounted” it, I just logged into it from “Network Locations”
RE: Jellyfin X Synology - Jackson Daniels - 2024-10-13
Ok. I have finally got it mounted, and accessible in jellyfin. Had to do some trickery but it’s there. Now, when I scan the library, nothing shows. Is this permission related?
RE: Jellyfin X Synology - TheDreadPirate - 2024-10-13
Maybe. What trickery did you do? If it doesn't involve using /etc/fstab, you should switch to use fstab.
An example from my desktop.
Code:
//192.168.1.3/library /media/library cifs credentials=/home/chris/.smbcredentials,noperm 0 01) Remote server + share name
2) Local mount point
3) Remote file system
4) Mount options. Credentials for the share stored in a file, don't check if local user has permissions to access the share (any user can access the share).
5) Additional mount options, both will be zero in 99.9999% of cases

Giving that a shot now. I just used the mount command in terminal to get it to work, but I just added it to fstab, and am currently rebooting. Fingers crossed.

Mounting it via fstab worked. Thanks a ton.
