    Pretty much what the title says. I've been trying to get a jellyfin server up & running using Docker Desktop for hours at this point to no avail. 

    I pulled the latest jellyfin after installing following a docker desktop install tutorial. 

    Then i created my directory like the jellyfin documentation said to with a config & cache folder in a jellyfin folder that is in a docker folder. 
    I created a docker-compose.yml file that sits in the jellyfin folder.
    Which reads:

    services:
      jellyfin:
        image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
        container_name: jellyfin
        user: 1000:1000
        network_mode: 'bridge'
        ports:
          - 8096:8096
        volumes:
          - /home/malcolm53/Documents/docker/jellyfin/configConfused-faceconfig
          - /home/malcolm53/Documents/docker/jellyfin/cacheConfused-facecache
          - "/media/malcolm53/Barracuda 8TB/A_Media/MoviesConfused-facemedia"
          - "/media/malcolm53/Barracuda 8TB/A_Media/ShowsConfused-facemedia2"
          - "/media/malcolm53/WD BLUE 4TB/F_Media/MoviesConfused-facemedia3"
          - "/media/malcolm53/WD BLUE 4TB/F_Media/ShowsConfused-facemedia4"
        restart: 'unless-stopped'

    lastly in the file sharing section I gave docker access to all of these folders. I somehow was able to get jellyfin to run as it was relentlessly restarting for a while, I do not know what I did to correct this. I am able to go to my localhost website where it is and set it up. I just can't get any of my media to scan or be seen. In docker it actually says the folders are "inaccessible or empty" so I'm at a loss honestly. Would love to know where I went wrong and how I can make this work.
    It is also just restarting again.

    What path are you using when you add the media to a library?
    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
