Can't connect to Jellyfin over LAN - Agosagror - 2024-10-28
Hi everyone, new to this forum.
I've been using Jelly fin for like 6 months, on docker, on a spare laptop running as an Ubuntu server. Worked amazingly.
Up until I attempted to no avail to get a VPN working so I could connect into my home network, trying with wg-easy. I could use it as a VPN but not as one into my home network. So I then tried a manual wire guard VPN setup, which on reflection was ambitious as I don't really understand networks. After trying that and probably hurting something whilst fiddling with the config of wg0 and something else.
Now having done all this I gave up, mostly because the tutorial I was following began asking increasingly difficult things of me and it hacked me off. Up until this point Jelly fin worked fine. So I then tried Pi VPN. Which whilst the TUI was helpful, it prompted me to restart, and then the issues with Jellyfin began. It just will not connect.
So I chipped away at the problem, I removed and pruned the docker container and then reassembled it. That didn't work so some more scrapping and I stumbled into someone asking something similar and someone attempting to diagnose the issue, and tried sudo systemctl status jellyfin
This returned Unit jellyfin.service could not be found, different to the post in question, and it seems to point towards something that should exist but doesn't But at this point I think if I continue trying to fix things - I actually making things worse.

Since you are running on docker, there is no system service to look at.
Go to where you mounted /config and there will be a log directory. Chance the latest log, probably log20241028 or 29.
Also share your network.xml file located in /config/config.

Thank you so much for the reply!
Ok that makes sense with the system service .
But I don't really understand what you meant by config folder as when I cd in to the config directory in jellyfins folder where the docker-compose.yml, the config directory is empty.

In the configuration for the Jellyfin container, you should have specified some paths on the host to mount /config and /cache, which will be used in Jellyfin's container.

I did when I set it up using compose, those folders are empty.

Can you share your docker compose?
