    I have installed Jellyfin via Docker Compose on Open Media Vault, but I can‘t connect to my  external drive, where I have stored my movies (the drive is attached via USB to a mini PC).

    My question: What does the path in OMV have to look like if the Jellyfin library is to point to a connected external hard drive?

    The path in OMV for my mounted external drive, which also works as a network connection in my explorer is shown as:    /srv/sda2

    The path to the library in my windows explorer is:  N: / Filme

    /srv/sda2/Filme: /data/movies didn‘t do it…

    JF is running on OMV. What would be the exact and complete path to write?

    Code:
    /srv/sda2:/Filme

    That would be what you use, but you also have to consider whether the user running Jellyfin has permissions on that directory.

    Can you share how you've configured the Jellyfin container? And can you run the following commands on the OMV command line?

    Code:
    ls -ld /srv /srv/sda2
    ls -l /srv/sda2/
    Jellyfin 10.10.7 (Docker)
    Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS w/HWE
    Intel i3 12100
    Intel Arc A380
    OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
