Loosing my mind and need some help

[starwindeu]

What are your full server specs?  Is Ubuntu installed directly on the PC or is Ubuntu and VM on top of Proxmox or something?

And you mentioned docker and portainer.  Do you intend to install other containers?  Or will Jellyfin be the only one?

Ubuntu is installed directly on the pc, not sure about spec beside its an  8 gig ram, old intel i7 with nvidia 900 series gpu,

I have installed jellyfin and a dashboard atm
will probably install something more down the line if the old pc can handle it

im obviously noob at linux, first time ever touching it, but if jellyfin runs and i get all the movie download / installing stuff to work ill be happy

The only step you have, if you haven't done it, is to add /media/mynewdrive as a volume in your container. Once you do that, create some folders in /media/mynewdrive for each of your libraries and then add those folders to your various shows and movie libraries.

In here you mean yeah?

but what do i write on mountpoint

[TheDreadPirate]

but what do i write on mountpoint

Anything, really.  It's an arbitrary path.  /media ?  /library ?  And "path on host" should be /media/mynewdrive

[starwindeu]

i only get invalid option regardless what i write on mountpoint

[TheDreadPirate]

I don't use portainer. In plain docker/docker compose its as simple as specifying the host path and providing an arbitrary container path.

Check out Portainer's docs.

Thank you so much for all your help TheDreadPirate

just in case you need it, jellyfin server is not exclusive to linux, it might be simpler for you to set this up on windows https://jellyfin.org/downloads/windows

(though you will need to use linux to delete the linux partition you created, windows won't touch it)
