Jellyfin only sees my files if I restart it manually

[haigha]

It occurred to me that this might be a timing thing, and it does appear that Docker/Jellyfin was coming up before the system was mounting the shares.

For anyone finding this later:

- Since my system uses systemd, it apparently creates ".mount" entries for each of the entries in the fstab file.  Using systemctl list-units -t mount let me find the name of this (mnt-media-nas.mount).
- Now I could run systemctl edit docker.service to add:

Code:

[Unit]
Requires=mnt-media-nas.mount
After=mnt-media-nas.mount

Now this apparently makes docker wait until that mount has finished mounting.  I've rebooted a number of times, and it is now working without any issues.

I did go back and do some of the best practices that TheDreadPirate recommended, such as moving /cache and /config to a local folder (/jellyfin/cache and /jellyfin/config).  I also really disliked the "/media/NAS/media" thing that I got from another post and moved it to "/mnt/nas/media", which felt like a better match.

Thanks!
