    So, I am using the NAS in addition with my mini server PC that uses Ubuntu. My mini PC has Docker and things like that on it. My media interface/player is Jellyfin. I also used an external WD HDD with the server PC that stored the actual media files on it. What I am doing now is transferring 18TB worth of folders/files to my NAS storage.

    However, how would I point things to this NAS now, especially since some of my things that pointed to the external HDD will now be on a separate system or whatever?

    A snippet of my Jellyfin docker-compose.yml file is:

    Code:
            volumes:
              - /home/admin/Dockers/Jellyfin/Config:/config
              - /home/admin/Dockers/Jellyfin/Cache:/cache
              - /home/admin/Dockers/Jellyfin/Web/web-config.json:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/config.json
              - /media/JF/Jellyfin:/Media
            restart: 'unless-stopped'
        networks:
          default:
            external: true
            name: docknetwork


    The way I have the NAS setup currently is I have my external HDD plugged into the back of it, saw the usbshare1 shared folder appear, created my first shared folder just called "Media", and then I have the entire HDD transferring to that shared Media folder now. So, what is the proper way to do this since I am using a separate server PC instead of using Docker-related stuff on the NAS itself, on "docknetwork" (not sure if this even matters), etc., etc.?

    So, "/media/JF/Jellyfin" is the current directory on my Ubuntu server. When copying it all over, my **NAS's** shared Media folder structure is:

        /Media/
        ├── Jellyfin/
        │  ├── Anime/
        │  ├── Movies/
        │  ├── TV Shows/
        │
        ├── OtherFolderHere/
        │  ├── folder1/
        │  ├── folder2/
        │  └── folder3/
        ├── OtherFolderHere2/
        │  ├── folder1/
        │  ├── folder2/
        │  └── folder3/
