Mounting volumes for jellyfin

I am able to mount the folder (using user-config) outside of the runtipi folder structure and check it is mounted currently by going inside the jellyfin container. But the mounted folder does not have any files/folders inside it. What am I missing?

please provide that user-config and how you mounted that folder

I have defined the user-config like in the screenshot. The folder with media files and folders are located in ${ROOT_FOLDER_HOST}../../../media

tbh i have no idea if this directory traversel works :/ for testing, can you try and add a .env file in the user-config/jellyfin dir with:
MYMEDIA=/real/mount/path
MYMEDIA=/real/mount/path
and then use that in the docker-compse.yml ?
- ${MYMEDIA}:/media/data/media
- ${MYMEDIA}:/media/data/media
or use the real path in the compose in the first place

hmmmm, let me give it a try. Essentially, I want to use the existing folders and make them available to Jellyfin, which are out of tipi folder structure

I would advise you to put in the full path indeed And you are missing an ending / anyways after ROOT_FOLDER_HOST}

Oh. Indeed the full path works. Thanks for the help.
