It is a synology NAS and all forum posts and tutorials say to install container managerand set up docker. Well tough luck because my model doesn't seem to be compatible with container manager.

Ok, I install the the server in a pc running linux mint, now when I try to create a library I can't point where the files are.

It help to understand some things, I'm with the last poster:

And what do I do if I installed Jellyfin via Ubuntu software, it runs, but /etc/passwd shows no jellyfin user exists?

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you should be able to find the user jellyfin is running as with:

ps aux | grep jellyfin

the first column is the user name or ID

you’re looking for a line something like this


biru       13576  0.1  9.6 281378280 3170688 ?   Ssl  Jul09  85:05 /usr/bin/jellyfin --ffmpeg=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg

Let's see, it returned three lines:

oriol       2759  0.0  0.0   3580  1280 ?        S    10:21   0:00 bwrap --args 38 -- jellyfin.sh
oriol       2768  0.1  1.9 275074792 323812 ?    Sl   10:21   0:09 jellyfin

looks like jellyfin is running as the user “oriol”. does that sound right?

assuming you have your files mounted somewhere locally that jellyfin can access, their file permissions will need to allow access to that user

The thing is that I mount the files using the GUI and I have no idea where they are mounted.

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

if you want it to be permanent you’ll probably want to mount via /etc/fstab (this is the list of things that are mounted every boot, so it’ll persist after a reboot)

that said, i’d guess it’ll be in /mnt
