Container can see all media files, but Jellyfin does not

Docker setup. Logging into the console container, I can see all media files. But when trying to add a library, I get an error

The way you have it configured, the container runs as root but the jellyfin process runs are UID 1000. That is why you can access the media files when you open a bash container, which should open a shell as root.

You need to make sure that UID 1000 has permissions to read the media directory.

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
