Alright, my setup looks like this.
> The host machine is a Windows 11 computer.
> Within VirtualBox I set up a Linux system that is running "Zorin 16".
> The Host (Windows) and Guest (Linux) are on the same network and can ping each other.
> I shared a folder which is located on Windows and mounted it via CFIS in Linux. This mounted folder is directly mounted under /mnt
> Furthermore, I have a folder created in Linux /media which also contains some media files.
> In the end, in the Linux file manager, I can see and play the media files, which are located in /mnt & /media
> I installed Jellyfin in Docker with the above-mentioned command. It is true that there I specified the " /home/user/jellyfin " as a media target, but back then I didn't know that Jellyfin can't access the home directory by default and that it would also be better to locate the files outside /home .
> In the Jellyfin interface, I created two movie folders (libraries) that direct to the following paths:
/mnt
/media
So now the question is, do I need to add the "/mnt" & "/media" paths to the docker config?
Or/and how do I need to adjust the rights of the Jellyfin(Docker) user to be able to read my folders?
What do you mean by "did you already symlink"?
