Jellyfin on proxmox
Currently I'm using Plex running directly on my NAS for my media lib. But I heard good things about jellyfin and wanted to evaluate it.
I found a lot of YouTube videos using plex and jellyfin simultaneous.
Installation Guide
Installation
The quickest way to install jellyfin is using the proxmox scripts from "tteck" -> Proxmox Helper-Scripts.
Adding IP to Ngnix proxy manager (optional)
Within my home network I usually access every service with a domain name. Therefore, I use the nginx proxy manager.
The settings for jellyfin can be found in the jellyfin documentation unter: Nginx | Jellyfin
Mounting NAS as samba share
For this configuration I found a useful guide from "Jims Garage" -> Nas config. Additionally, we also have to add the "jellyfin" user to the lxc_share group.
usermod -a -G lxc_shares jellyfin
Configuration
After the nas was mounted to proxmox and shared with the LXC, we can config our media library. Just add the videos/music paths of your nas. If you have done everything correctly then the folders will be shown correctly in the lib settings.
