It is. It runs automatically at every boot.

Is there some easy way to make Jellyfin start only if the drive is connected?
I mean, when I disconnect it Jellyfin is always stopped, the problem is that, being my computer a laptop, there are some times which I use it outdoor and I don't have the drive with me. At boot the service starts anyway and so the next time I'll boot it with the drive connected this problem happens. So having away to prevent the service to start Jellyfin if the drive isn't connected seems to be necessary in this case. Or what's the best way to deal with this scenario?

Actually this seems to be the best way! Could you point me to a guide to do so, please?
This wouldn't prevent me to have to rescan library though, right?
