    Just to verify how this works, I added a custom config.json to my test setup.

    My docker compose.

    Code:
    services:
      jellyfin-testing:
        image: jellyfin/jellyfin:10.10.3
        container_name: jellyfin-testing
        hostname: jellyfin-testing
        user: 1002:1002
        group_add:
          - '993' # Intel render group
        networks:
          blackmoon:
            ipv4_address: 172.16.100.2
        expose:
          - 8096
        volumes:
          - ./jellyfin-stable-data/config:/config
          - ./jellyfin-stable-data/cache:/cache
          - ./jellyfin-stable-data/web/config.json:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/config.json
          - /media/library:/media/library:ro
          - /media/storage2:/media/storage2
          - /media/ramdisk:/media/ramdisk
        devices:
          - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
        environment:
          - TZ=America/New_York
        restart: unless-stopped

    Ownership of the folders and file.  User ID 1002 from my docker compose corresponds to the "jellyfin" user.

    Code:
    chris@rat-trap:/docker/containers$ ll -d jellyfin-stable-data/ jellyfin-stable-data/web/
    drwxr-x--- 5 jellyfin chris 4096 Jan 21 13:15 jellyfin-stable-data//
    drwxr-x--- 2 jellyfin chris 4096 Jan 21 13:18 jellyfin-stable-data/web//
    chris@rat-trap:/docker/containers$ ls -l jellyfin-stable-data/web/config.json
    -rw-r----- 1 jellyfin chris 1170 Jan 21 13:18 jellyfin-stable-data/web/config.json

    The contents of config.json

    Code:
    chris@rat-trap:/docker/containers$ cat jellyfin-stable-data/web/config.json
    {
      "includeCorsCredentials": false,
      "multiserver": false,
      "themes": [
        {
          "name": "Apple TV",
          "id": "appletv",
          "color": "#bcbcbc"
        }, {
          "name": "Blue Radiance",
          "id": "blueradiance",
          "color": "#011432"
        }, {
          "name": "Dark",
          "id": "dark",
          "color": "#202020",
          "default": true
        }, {
          "name": "Light",
          "id": "light",
          "color": "#303030"
        }, {
          "name": "Purple Haze",
          "id": "purplehaze",
          "color": "#000420"
        }, {
          "name": "WMC",
          "id": "wmc",
          "color": "#0c2450"
        }
      ],
      "menuLinks": [
          {
              "name": "Main Jellyfin",
              "url": "https://jellyfin.domain.tld"
          }
      ],
      "servers": [],
      "plugins": [
        "playAccessValidation/plugin",
        "experimentalWarnings/plugin",
        "htmlAudioPlayer/plugin",
        "htmlVideoPlayer/plugin",
        "photoPlayer/plugin",
        "comicsPlayer/plugin",
        "bookPlayer/plugin",
        "youtubePlayer/plugin",
        "backdropScreensaver/plugin",
        "pdfPlayer/plugin",
        "logoScreensaver/plugin",
        "sessionPlayer/plugin",
        "chromecastPlayer/plugin",
        "syncPlay/plugin"
      ]
    }

    And it appeared as expected.

       

    So let's check the ownership of your config.json, since everything else you shared appears to be in order.

    Code:
    ls -ld /home/username /home/username/Dockers /home/username/Dockers/Jellyfin /home/username/Dockers/Jellyfin/Config
    ls -l /home/username/Dockers/Jellyfin/Config/*
    Jellyfin 10.10.7 (Docker)
    Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS w/HWE
    Intel i3 12100
    Intel Arc A380
    OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
    Storage
        4x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1
