    Hey all, 

    Trying my luck here as google or ChatGPT have not been very helpful so far.
    I'm using a mac mini m4 as a headless server running a few things including Jellyfin. 
    Content is being served from a NAS via NFS and my plan was to auto launch Jellyfin and NFS so that Jellyfin can run at boot without someone being logged in. My plan roughly work, using plist files I could get Jellyfin to launch at boot and if I SSH into the machine then I can see my NFS mount being properly mounted as well. 
    Now the problem is that Jellyfin cannot access the content from the share unless someone is being logged in and no idea what's left to check. Jellyfin runs as a user that has read access to the share and when logged in into the mac it works so I don't think it's a permission issue. 
    I'm not a macos pro by any stretch so if someone has ideas as to what to check next that would be great 
    Thanks !

    Answering my own question as it might be helpful if someone wants to try the same thing since mac mini are making pretty amazing low power server. You need to make sure that Jellyfin has full disk access (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access) for it to work and it's independent from any NFS related permissions setting
