    I moved from Windows to CachyOS and I am having problems configuring Jellyfin. The installation was done with docker compose (first time) and I managed to access the localhost from the PC, but the library does not read the path specified in the compose file.

    Additionally, following a tutorial, I mounted the HDD disk I had in NTFS and configured it to mount automatically. On this disk are the files for Jellyfin.

    Code:
    services:
      jellyfin:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
        container_name: jellyfin
        environment:
          - PUID=1000
          - PGID=1000
          - TZ=America/Santiago
          - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=192.168.1.1
        volumes:
          - /opt/docker/jellyfin:/config
          - /mnt/HDD01/Jellyfin/Series:/data/tvshows
          - /mnt/HDD01/Jellyfin/Peli:/data/movies
        ports:
          - 8096:8096
          - 8920:8920
          - 7359:7359/udp
        restart: unless-stopped

    I was able to solve it:
    1. Read this guide to understand how permissions work in linux:
    https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-mounting-lo...ons-primer

    2. Make sure Jellyfin has read and execute permissions (xr) on the path specified in your compose:
    ls -l /PATH

    3. If you have problems to make the permissions changes and you have a NTFS disk (as in my case), edit its mount permissions from /etc/fstab:
    UUID=YOUR_UUID_HERE /PATH ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=002,fmask=113 0 0

    4. Umount and Mount:
    sudo umount /PATH
    sudo mount -a

    5. Restart your Jellyfin container from the directory containing the compose file:
    docker compose down
    docker compose up -d
