Content of mounted shared folder is not recognized by Jellyfin

[TheDreadPirate]

I have to admit, I was checking different commands on the internet to set the permissions for the Jellyfin user right, but this was more like trial and error.

So if you could tell him how to check the user, the permissions, and how to set them, this would be perfect.

How can I check the Docker config to see how the container was created?

I guess I did it like this:

Code:

docker run -d \
--name jellyfin \
--net=host \
--volume jellyfin-config:/config \
--volume jellyfin-cache:/cache \
--mount type=bind,source=/home/user/jellyfin,target=/media \
--restart=unless-stopped \
jellyfin/jellyfin

But in the end, my two media library folders should direct to:
/mnt (for my mounted shared Windows folder, CIFS)
/media (for my locally added files on Linux)

First, the fact that Jellyfin is running in docker definitely should have been in your first post.  That changes the troubleshooting scope and steps.

I'm not a docker expert, but it looks like you are mounting the jellyfin user's home directory (/home/user/jellyfin) in the host OS as /media in the container?  And I'm having trouble following what files are hosted where.

You have a separate Windows machine with a SMB share?  You mounted that Windows SMB share on the Linux host at /mnt?  Somewhere within that SMB share, mounted at /mnt, is a folder with your media library?

From the Linux host system's perspective, what is that path?  /mnt/.....? On the Linux host, did you already symlink /media to /mnt/where/ever/your/library/is ?
