Issue with user-config volumes and Jellyfin

Hello everyone, I am tagging this post as App issue but I am not sure it's due to Tipi or the apps. I have created a custom user-config for Jellyfin, which I just installed tonight, so that the /media/data would point to a folder on my host system : /mnt/hetzner. This is done as this :

services:
  jellyfin:
    volumes:
      - /mnt/hetzner:/media/data

services:
  jellyfin:
    volumes:
      - /mnt/hetzner:/media/data

I am doing the same already with Immich for a long time with this :

services:
  immich:
    volumes:
      - /mnt/hetzner/Photos/Immich:/usr/src/app/upload

services:
  immich:
    volumes:
      - /mnt/hetzner/Photos/Immich:/usr/src/app/upload

But unfortunately, I am not able to browse any content to add from the library menu in Jellyfin. I had the same issue with Emby. The browser is empty. Now, I did connect to the container : docker exec -it f452b3ff4492 /bin/bash And did a ls on /media/data and I can see the content of my /mnt/hetzner folder :

root@hetzner-arm:~/runtipi# docker exec -it f452b3ff4492 /bin/bash
root@f452b3ff4492:/# cd /media/data/
root@f452b3ff4492:/media/data# ls -la

So I'm suspecting something is wrong maybe with the app. I don't see any error in runtipi error log. I'm using as host a debian 12 ARM. The container log doesn't display anything beside app is launched : jellyfin | [20:29:42] [INF] [1] Main: Startup complete 0:00:10.0301836 Here is the debug log attached. Thanks !

Weird, if you can see it from the container it means the mounting went fine with the user-config Maybe try with a different name than /media/data Eg /hetzner?

frankynovOP•2mo ago

Yep, I tried as well, I can see the main folder /hetzner but can't list the content. I can see it in the docker shell. Weird. Let me restart the whole server

frankynovOP•2mo ago

Note : the host /mnt/hetzner is mounted via a webdav2fs in the fstab. Maybe a limitation there

Nicolas•2mo ago

Okay then it’s probably a permission issue on your mounted folder It’s often the case that these apps run as a non-root user inside (eg: 1000:1000) and your mount could be refusing read access

frankynovOP•2mo ago

That's a bit what I thought too. What is weird is that for Immich it works flawlessly. And the file permissions (host level) are the same.

But, Jellyfin has a user set in the docker compose : Default docker_compose :

version: "3.7"
services:
  jellyfin:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:10.10.3
    container_name: jellyfin
    volumes:
      - ${APP_DATA_DIR}/data/config:/config
      - ${ROOT_FOLDER_HOST}/media/data:/media/data
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=${TZ}
      - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=${APP_PROTOCOL:-http}://${APP_DOMAIN}/
    restart: "unless-stopped"

version: "3.7"
services:
  jellyfin:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:10.10.3
    container_name: jellyfin
    volumes:
      - ${APP_DATA_DIR}/data/config:/config
      - ${ROOT_FOLDER_HOST}/media/data:/media/data
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=${TZ}
      - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=${APP_PROTOCOL:-http}://${APP_DOMAIN}/
    restart: "unless-stopped"

PUID & PGID are set to 1000. I don't really know what it means

Nicolas•2mo ago

You can try with 0 and 0 As PUID / PGID

frankynovOP•2mo ago

It's working !! 🙂

frankynovOP•2mo ago

Merci beaucoup ! I will have to dig a bit still about these permissions. If I understand correctly, it means that it runs as root ? I can't find any reference of PUID or PGID on the Immich compose file so now I don't understand why it's working there since the beginning 🤪

Nicolas•2mo ago

Maybe because immich runs as 0:0 by default 0:0 means root inside the container yes!
