You will need to either directly specify your path or you need to create a .env or custom environment file where you do define $USER.

Again please correct me if I am wrong but the way I read it here (https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/unde...-variables) is when using the PUID and PGUID it sets the user to the number I use. In this case 1000 which is my user. I did change my path from ${USER} to my actual user. I then stopped and restarted my Jellyfin container and I did not see a change. I still had the same paths and could not see any other folders. Thank you for helping me understand this.
You can ignore the above. Thank you again for your help! I deleted my container and started a new one after changing the file path to my user and it worked!
