Mounting Shared Folders - Maurice Botha - 2024-10-23
Good day everyone. I am new to Jellyfin, but I have setup and installed a Jellyfin container successfully on Proxmox VE. Now, I have a separate computer running Windows with tons of movies and series and I have shared the folders. How do I mount the shared folders on Jellyfin?
Thanks in advance

Hello
which OS has your VM?
For a Linux, you just have to mount your share and configure your media libraries.
if you're on Windows, the easiest way is to create a login/password account identical to those of your share.
This allows Jellyfin to have access to it simply.
if you installed it as a Windows service, you also need to put this account as the service account. and of course restart the service.
Then you can browse your share via Jellyfin.

Thanks for the reply. I am not running a VM. I have a standalone Windows PC that I shared the folders to "everyone" and then a 2nd PC with Proxmox VE. I have created a lxc container on the Proxmox server for Jellyfin. Now I want to mount the shared folders from the Windows PC to the Jellyfin container. Does that make more sense?

With LXCs you need to first mount the share to the host. Easiest to do this by creating a folder and pointing a mount point to it in /etc/fstab. Then you need to edit the lxc.conf which is found in /etc/pve/lxc/xxx.conf . Add mp1=/hostmp,mp=/lxcmp
