Loading a custom web-config.json - wayne - 2024-11-10

This question popped up already a couple times, but going through all the old threads hasn't helped me. 

I'm trying to alter my web-config.json to implement a custom menu point.
I did everything what was mention in here


I'm running Jellyfin 10.9.9 on a synology NAS
I'm rerouting the config.json to a custom one in my docker files

Code:
/volume2/Docker_v2/jellyfin/config/web-config.json:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/config.json


To test if the config was loaded I'm using this config file here, which has one custom menu point.
config from github

It seems like jellyfin is not loading my .json file from my custom location.

I'm not setting up jellyfin with a docker compose yml - I'm using the synology docker manager GUI for that. Never had issues with setting up custom volume paths.

Thanks

Try rebuilding the container.

Just tried this and updated the container since I was on it.
No Luck.

is "/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/config.json" the right path?

on the jellyfin github repo the config file is under:
"/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/src/config.json"

I will try this path as soon as I can shut down the container

whoever finds this.
The solution was set the file on "read-only" instead of "read and write"

flushing browser cache also helps to see changes I guess
