Bind mounts on Ubuntu & Docker?

[theguymadmax]

I think that is the issue you have to share the drive with docker desktop when you set up bind mounts. See this post: https://forums.docker.com/t/mounts-denie...s/142364/3

I run docker not docker desktop, so I don't think I've run into this issue.

Found the issue. So, I already did do what you just linked but it apparently actually didn't save like it appeared to.

So now, is there a way to remove the annoying pass key thing that Docker wants me to enter everytime it starts up when I boot the server PC? On Windows or anything else I've used with Docker, I just sign into Docker Desktop and I'm good to go. For some reason, when it installed on Ubuntu, it made me make some passkey/GPG thing or something and enter it anytime I open it for the first time. Not practical if restarting server remotely or something

Oh, and so now, how do I access Jellyfin since I got the docker-compose to work?

I don't know what that is.

http://localhost:8096

http://localhost:8096

I tried that but nothing available. On Windows, it would show a port number on Docker, which I could simply click and it would take me to the localhost page but I don't see a port number on Ubuntu Docker, so I don't think it's actually running yet?

I installed Docker Desktop once but encountered some issues, so I uninstalled it and switched to the regular Docker installation instead.

On this page, I don't see a config file anywhere on my PC... https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/client...fig#docker

And oh, ok, hmm. Docker Engine you mean here? https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/u...repository
If so, I guess I could fully uninstall Docker Desktop and try that out for the first time? Didn't realize it was separate stuff, haha

[theguymadmax]

Yes, I just use the docker engine and I use portainer.

Actually, I just realized that link I just posted above (this one: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/u...repository) is where it had me install the keyring/GPG thing in the first place. Can I simply skip step 1 then?

[theguymadmax]

If it's already added and you didn't remove it, there's no need to add it again. Even if you did, it wouldn't cause any issues.

Update: Just uninstalled Docker Desktop and got regular Docker. I now have Jellyfin running! Question now: So, on Windows, for custom photo banners for my categories (TV shows, movies, etc), I would simply go on JF and browse for the photo in my Pictures folder. How can I do this on Ubuntu? Like, what's the equivalent? Do I need to bind a photos album or anything like that?

And then my main question too: I backed up my Windows JF server before wiping the OS and getting Ubuntu. Are there certain files I can transfer to my Ubuntu JF installation so that all the metadata and data in general stays how it was? And user accounts, etc
